Put the disk in your CD drive and let it fly. I am new to Linux but did not have any problems with the install on an older laptop. With some help from the on-line Ubuntu community, I was able to install printer drivers and deal with a troublesome issue with the wireless card that was install on the computer - the wireless chipset maker would not release the specs so someone in the community reverse engineered the drivers!

Normally I'd choose amazon.com to find the lowest prices. However on Linux operating systems this isn't the case. To anyone in the U.S. who is interested in Ubuntu I'd recommend going to [.....]. Their service is great and I haven't had one bad disk from them. They charge a flat rate of $0.99 per cd and $1.99 per dvd. Shipping is only $1.99 for the whole order. However if you can come up with a reason to spend more than $20 on your order shipping is free. They accept paypal, checks or money orders (you have to email them to find out how to pay with a check or money order).
The system requirements listed by amazon are a bit sketchy. For Ubuntu 8.04 and Kubuntu 8.04 a minimum of 384 MB of RAM is required. For Xubuntu 8.04 a minimum of 256 MB of RAM is required. I have personally used Xubuntu 8.04 on 2 old computers one with a 766 MHz celeron processor and 256 MB of RAM and the other a 1.3 GHz celeron processor with 256 MB of RAM. Both have worked fine. I've used Ubuntu 8.04 and ... Read More

I have read several "reviews" here and find one at least to be simply silly. Note to complainers about the charge here for Ubuntu: If you don't want to support the folks who actually go to the trouble of making a professionally produced installable DVD, take your $13 elsewhere. You are only making yourself look stupid - like you need this review to do that.
There are myriad people who do not want to be bothered with downloading a huge file and then figuring out how to make an installable CD or DVD who want to get an alternative to M$ who also trust Amazon. This is only one of several options available.
Personally, I downloaded it and burned 30 DVDs for people who were somewhat timid but who now are very satisfied getting away from Vista to an O/S that actually works and gives them Open Office and GIMP.
The implied suggestion here is to go elsewhere but don't downgrade a great, entry level piece of software because you don't want to pay a lousy $13. ... Read More

Ubuntu 8.04 DVD
I have replaced my 150.00 copy of Windows XP with this operating system.
In addition, I have used it to install a huge amount of mathematical and
astronomical software- free of added charge. Finally, I installed WINE,
a Windows emulator which enables me to use some of my old, paid-for, software. What a marvelous product, and what a wonderful spirit behind
the development of it.
I recommend this product without hesitation!
