I am hopeful to install ubuntu on my recently
retired xp laptop with the rationale that a system without bloated
features, coupled with the fact that I won't need virus protection will
give me a computer that is again relatively powerful. I have never used
ubuntu before, but it sounds user friendly. My idea is to wipe the XP
cleanly off the machine, then install unbuntu. With the reservation that
if somehow I don't get along with it, I can wipe ubuntu cleanly off
again and reinstall XP.
Even though I make my living on a computer, I'm not real computer smart,
so I'm looking for basic instructions. Please advise on how to do this.
