Kubuntu 10.4 is great, but I recommend vanilla Ubuntu with Gnome for new users.
Also here is a tip for sharing a partition between Linux and Windows which you will absolutely run into at some point.
-- I your windows system hands or otherwise is stopped abnormally then you filesystem will be marked as dirty/corrupt/etc. Windows will remount it fine without complaining, but Linux respects this and will not mount it.
Your choices are to:
1) reboot windows and shutdown normally
2) Use a linux command to reset the flag
3) Mount the filesystem manually with the mount command and use the --force option.
Good luck...
Thank you guys, ubuntu 10.04 installed successfully on my system, although in 4th attempt. First 3 attemps failed, & i am sure i did no mistake in first 3 attemps. It's working in perfect harmony with windows 7. well almost perfect.
thanks again for your swift co-operation.
