I've looked at various websites and have come away even more confused than I started about which one I should be using, for those of us who are un-initiated about all things Linux it would be a god send.

Sorry, moonlight I missed the earlier conversation. I'll get with an Ubuntu coaching session when I get home from work. Functionally, Mint would work identically but I'll use what I use so you will be able to follow step by step.

So starting tonight, "Install Ubuntu on your laptop" begins. I'll cover a couple things you aren't interested in, like dual boot systems and the best way to make those work for those who aren't looking to abandon Windows, just to expand their horizons. I'll start a new thread so we can have a focused thread. And it would allow Barracude to start one on Fedora and Skybird to do one on Mint if they like and we won't confuse anybody.
