yeah, but it was fine when i put fedora on it. no troubles at all. but it couldve been that some of the other times i had windows, i had a pirated version that wasnt very good. i got the one i have now fixed two years ago and its fine. i still get the corrupted win32 messages when i boot up sometimes, but it still runs fine. since i got it fixed the last time, ive seen not one blue screen of death, so its doin fine. i just dont like windows and see no reason to have it with that being the case.

i dont like how unstable windows is. maybe its just me, but everytime ive gotten my computer with windows fixed, something goes wrong on it. it messes up. the win32 file is corrupted. or, for some random reason, my computer turns off outa nowhere, and i turn it back on, and it tells me that there is no operating system found. (also, i think windows is kinda ugly. ubuntu and fedora look so much better...) they overcharge for their programs, and they all run errors like no tomorrow. it also comes

i think ill just start off by saying that im not particularly fond of windows. i have used a few linux distros at my frriends house, and i know a wee bit about them, and i have settled on running either ubuntu or fedora. but i understand that it is hard to get ubuntu to actually run on your computer, but it is probably better. so id like to know which one of these two i should get, and a little info on how to install ubuntu and actually get it to work. or if neither of those, which linux distro
