I've got a HD from my last HP I could probably put into my new one.

A program called Grub is a menu giving you the option of booting Linux on that disk or Windows on its own disk. If my old 40 gb dies, the next drive in line is my completely untouched, no changes made Windows XP drive and it boots normally. So you see, there's no repartitioning of your Windows hard drive, no risk!

Also a good thing. I don't want to mess up my already touchy Vista.

That is just crazy.
I've just pulled up the Ubuntu website. Do I need to download Linux first, then Ubuntu, or just Ubuntu? I can mod a game, dig and mess with program and computer files, but I've never messed with Operating Systems. I should probably look through their entire website. Any other questions I have they have probably already answered.
