How to install Ubuntu on your desktop

Are you fed up with your current Windows operating system and feeling adventurous enough to swim in the uncharted waters? Then perhaps you are ready to install and try out Ubuntu on your desktop. Ubuntu is a Linux version that works like the Windows environment. Now you may wonder why would you leave one Windows environment and switch over to another Windows environment that is totally alien? Ubuntu is known to be one of the most stable operating systems available on the Internet. The best thing about Ubuntu is, along with being stable and more secure than Windows, that it is a totally free operating system and all the software that accompanies it is also free.  For instance the office suit that you use with Ubuntu is OpenOffice.org that is as useful as Microsoft Office.  Another great free graphic tool that you get with Ubuntu is GIMP that can be a great replacement for Photoshop.

Installing Ubuntu on your desktop can be a real headache if you want to preserve your current data and operating environment. Most people using the Windows operating system whether it is XP or Vista prefer to install Ubuntu as a parallel operating system so that they can quickly switch back to their good old (no matter how unreliable) operating system if they find Ubuntu too unpalatable. To fully utilize Ubuntu you must really be familiar with how to install Ubuntu on your desktop through Windows. First of all you have to download the latest version of Ubuntu from its official website. Okay, without waiting around the bush here is a detailed blog post that explains to you how to install Ubuntu on your desktop.
