Hey Kaister, on those Ubuntu Thread links I posted , they are working now. Those 2 threads are about Wubi when it 1st came out in 2007 and instead of Hardy Heron they were downloading Gutsy gibbon back then. I think the latest post in that Feedback on Wubi thread is around June 2008.

I couldn't find any users on the net posting that they used Wubi on a Vostro except that one comment I posted from that one post. Most everybody seems to like to do the Win 50/LINUX 50 dual boot hardrive install.

I don't think it will be dangerous for you to try the Wubi install 1st. I also couldn't find any horror stories about that also.

Bootneck also came up with good suggestions on how to get Linux cd's in England.
You can always before you try Wubi out is to pick up a Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 Live CD and boot up your computer using the live cd WITHOUT INSTALLING and play around with it to see if you even like it or if your hardware is supported.

When using a live cd I always recommend hooking up a land line first to gain internet access because sometimes wireless can be a pain in Linux,(sometimes not), but connection is assured using land line.

Oh Nero doesn't work like that the last I checked. I've not had to use it for some time though so I'm trying to check online now. Thanks for your heads up I'll try to find out =)

Hey Kaister, rokytnji here. On that guys post on erasing dvdrw can't he just enter whatever he wants to burn in Nero and it will just overwrite what was burnt earlier without having to erase. I have been using Linux so long with Braserio and K3b I figured I'd ask instead of posting this in that guys thread. Cheers, rokytnji

Here you can change your colors and stuff.

Just play with it and you'll get the idea of what is changeable.
