Ubuntu is one of the most popular Linux distributions – if not the most popular! Just Google “how to install Ubuntu” and you will find lots of tutorials. Still, some of them miss crucial details, so here’s my take, which will (hopefully) cover all the gaps.
Begin by deciding how you want to install Ubuntu. Will you use a DVD version of the installation kit? Or will you rather go for a USB memory? Or maybe you want to simply run Ubuntu from a memory stick, and decide if you want to install it on your computer later.
No matter what path you choose, the process is very similar. It all begins with downloading the installation kit from the official website – an ISO image file. Then, burn the image to a DVD using Windows’ built-in tool, or go for a freeware third-party ISO burner such as ImgBurn .
