I have it on my laptop as a separate partition and actually boot into Linux grub to choose whether I run Win or Ubuntu. Ubuntu desktop edition is easiest to install. I don't use it much as 99% of my work is done on Win. Having said that Ubuntu amazes me at the quality of apps that are just free! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
