Yeah, if you're just looking to copy a whole partition, it doesn't get much easier than a recursive copy (cp).
Does selecting "Boot up side-by-side" in the installation menu not work for you?
Also, don't forget to defrag your windows installation before installing linux to not lose any data.
FYI, there are some great substitutes for IRC clients - I'm not sure what else you're missing. But yes, in order to edit hard drives, you will need to have your hard drive unmounted. As bodhi.zazen...
Here's some answers for 1, 2, & 5.
1. Turn down the PCM volume. If that doesn't work, we'll try some other things.
2. Download google chrome for linux. It's what I use. Find it here:

If you have a default application set, this shouldn't be an issue. Just right-click on the file in question, and set a default application (should be under properties).
8.10 maybe :P Anyhow, I'd just use scp (secure copy) - it's basically a way to copy files via ssh (so a CLI).
Follow-up:
sudo gives you root permissions as the current user. gksudo gives you root permissions as the root user. In your case either will work, but I use sudo for nearly all operations.
Just use sudo. So something like this
sudo gedit <filename_here>

Linux doesn't have a whole lot in common with Windows, that's the point. How long does it take to become a pro? Well, you have so much more control over every aspect of the operating system, so...
In that case it seems like you have installed ubuntu, but you're still running off of the live cd. If you take out the CD, you should be able to boot up your ubuntu installation and the install icon...
It's on OS X. It works perfectly well for basically all purposes.
I'm not really following what you said. You installed Ubuntu - did you do it on windows using the Wubi installer or did you boot into the live CD and install from the menu that was presented to you?...
It's been a while since I reinstalled, but there should be a few options on the install menu if I'm not mistaken. From looking at screenshots of the installation screens...
Welcome to Ubuntu!
No, actually, what you've done is mounted the live CD. One great feature about linux is that it allows you to utilize the operating system without actually installing it onto...
Personally I use Rhythmbox for playing audio files on my local computer. It's pretty basic and the default player for gnome (and since XFCE is already using the basic gnome libraries, you might as...
Sounds good, let us know. If it is a DNS renewal issue, then you should still be able to access websites via the IP address (not that this is preferable, but it will allow us to discern if it is a...
What do you see when you run lspci?
Well, modem or internal NIC?
I second the vote for the MBP.
I have no experience with the Sony SR Series laptop, but I do have a MBP that I run xubuntu on with virtualbox. I have yet to run into any real issues, and nothing...
There's a multitude of ways, but here's a good tutorial:

I agree with both of the above responses. If you want the graphical environment, even for limited use, you're better off installing the desktop version of ubuntu as opposed to the server edition. ...
Is the technology not supported? I have no experience with mobile broadband on ubuntu, but per this webpage, it should be a very simple process:

Do any background applications require use of the data within this directory? If so, that's probably your problem. Otherwise, logging out and going to a shell (tty1) [then carrying out your...
If you just use gksudo and work backwards through all of the commands that you did, then you should be able to get everything back to a working condition.
