Hi everyone,
I would like to try ubuntu on my pc. But i have some doubts
Hardware spec
I have 1 TB & 250 GB internal HDDs. 1 TB has windows xp running & 250 GB has server 2003 enterprise running. I change boot order in bios to access one at a time. Also i 've NVIDIA graphic card + 4 GB ram.
Also i 've an empty partition. Or even make many if needed as my 1 TB hdd's 80% free. Now i would like to install ubuntu on my computer without messing up both the windows operating systems. How can i do that?
One more thing. I hate to install softwares, so i use portables a lot. Can i run MS Office & other portable softwares in linux\ubuntu like i'm doing that in xp?
Waiting for replies, thank you in advance.
