Hey all,
I'm new to linux so gimme a break if this is a totally newbie question :D Ok, so I have an older laptop (has the requirements) that I want to put ubuntu 8.04 on. My plan is to take the hard drive and put it in my windows machine (I have a spare slot), wipe the drive, install ubuntu on the laptop drive, pop the drive back into my laptop and go. I can't use the disc on the laptop cuz the drive is kaput. Will this work? Also, would it be simpler to get it from the dvd? Or is downloading it just as good? Thanks! Any tips much appreciated!
Favorite OS? Mac. Wait no- AHHHHHH!!!!
