Downloading Ubuntu, Burning, and trying it without installing from a LiveCD
As Raseel mentioned in a comment to my previous post all modern Open Source Operating Systems have the option of trying them on a LiveCD. LiveCD means that you can burn the Operating System files on a cd, restart your computer and run the open source operating system from the CD without installing it and without deleting or touching your current operating system.
In order to see if I like using Ubuntu I will Download it and try running it from a LiveCD.
Getting Ubuntu:
A New Version of Ubuntu is released on April and on October every year. The versions are given numbers according to the year and month of release. The last release was on October 2007 so the version number will be 7.10 (7 for 2007, 10 for October). The next version will be 8.04 (you can figure it out yourself by now). But why deal with numbers if you call give each version a name. each version of Ubuntu is given a name. Version 7.10 is called Gutsy Gibbon, The next release will be called Hardy Heron (Don’t ask me why).
Ubuntu has versions that suit 32 bit and 64 bit computer architectures. If you want an operating system in another language other than English, don’t worry, Ubuntu supports multiple languages.
So stage number one: Downloading Ubuntu from here , Saving it to your hard drive, and then burning it onto a CD.
Here are a few video tutorials which might help you with the process:
Downloading and burning Ubuntu CD
Burning an Ubuntu CD using Nero
Burning an Ubuntu CD using Infra Recorder
There are many other video tutorials which I will probably link to on my next posts.
Ubuntu had very useful support documentation , you can try it out if you encounter problems, otherwise you can just Google your problems you will probably find a solution.
If you don’t want to start burning stuff you can always order a CD at minimal cost or even request a free cd.
After you have a CD with Ubuntu files on it, insert it in you computer CD/DVD player, and restart your computer. You will probably have to press a key so the computer will run from the CD, or even configure your BIOS in order to start from the CD.
OK Now I am ready to run Ubuntu for the first time from the LiveCD.
I have Ubuntu running from my CD, so I can try in out without affecting my current operating system.
Up until now it was quite easy 
The next stage:
Trying out Ubuntu for the first time and writing down my first impressions. I will even Bring some screen shots in order to impress you as well.
