There are a few fundamentals you have to unlearn about Windows, and a few things to consider that are fundamentally different about Linux in general. But, that's part of the fun of it. You know you can set up dual booting on your laptop if you wanted, so that if you needed to boot into Windows for something, you could. The Ubuntu installation disk should give you that option. Good luck! It has become quite easy to use. There are a few fundamentals you have to unlearn about Windows, and a few things to consider that are fundamentally different about Linux in general.

I've downloaded it for my laptop (a second household computer that I primarily use for web browsing, email and photo sharing - you know things to keep me occupied when the kids have control of the TV), but haven't yet grown the cajones to install it. I have a vague knowledge of LINUX (in college I used a LINUX machine and numerous UNIX machines for a while, but never with administrative rights or needs).
