I’m a newbie to Linux and I’ve been researching versions and obviously Ubuntu appealed to me, but I’m not sure how to go about switching to Ubuntu. I’d assume using a dual boot at first would be a smart idea to start out with, if not to keep. I am running on Windows Vista home premium on an HP Pavilion laptop. I’m also not sure which version of Ubuntu to get.
