How to down load ubuntu linux - Apple MacBook Pro Notebook

go to the linux web site and down load ubantu to a usb stick
then burn a disc from that usb stick
use the disc to install the os on the computer
ubuntu is the same system as win 7 but with different names for the files and folders so it is easy to pick up and use
if you still have problems there are linux forums with plenty of help as to problems associated with using linux products
I found that it will not install directly from the usb stick and that has been mentioned in the forums but is readily capable from the disc for some reason or other
there are many linux operating system such as apache and the like but ubuntu is by far the easiest and most common
Libra is a very good office suite operating system from linux

Stelios: there is no "linux" choice on the link you provide. thumbs down, looks like you haven't even tried dwonloading it, without mention to getting the device to work with the "driver" you suggest.

when you install ubuntu, (or practically any linux) it will give you an option to shrink the windows partition - it then sets up a dual boot for you. Windows doesn't see linux partions at all - so the set up has to be down from the linux partion.

Download the following Linux ISO images and burn them into CDs.

Hello there.

Nice to see more people using Linux and Ubuntu. For information on how to share your Ubuntu folder to linux, over file sharing click here

You basically only need to right click the folder you want to share, in Ubuntu, then enable sharing and when prompted to install services, tick the box called 'Install Windows network support'

Hope this helps.
