I want to partition my HP Pavillion DV 7 1260-US Laptop, for specs see link, http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/documen...product=3860646 (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01634481&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3860646) ,and dual boot Ubuntu with Win 7. My system is as 64 bit operating system. Should I install the 64 bit version of Ubuntu? In the Ubuntu pocket guide he said there were some compatibility issues with the 64 bit system but I was thinking since there was been some time since that was written that maybe these have resolved.
So, I have run the live CD to check to see if there were any errors. Aside from not being able to directly install a flash player it all seemed OK. Is this one of the only problems I will have with the 64 bit OS or should I switch to the 32 bit version before I install???? I do not have any experience with Linux.
I have deleted all unnecessary files from my PC, error check the C disk and now I am defragging by tomorrow it should be done and I will be ready for the install. I think.
I am still very nervous and excited. Any suggestions on how to make this transition smother???
Thanks
