Kieren Oct 2006 12:57pm, 27 Oct 2006 0 posts	Kieren ubuntu is pretty good. It certainly has the best support in terms of forums & IRC chat. Check out the forums here ubuntuforums.org & you an download it here ubuntu.com (if you're not on broadband I can give you an old CD - currently my CD burner isn't working so I can't make a current one) the installer should detect Windows & resize your drive to fit around it if you want to keep it as a dule boot system. If not then the only partitions you really need are root (/) a swap partition - (say double the amount of ram you have) and a home partion /home - where you store all your files. What do you intend using it for? A desktop? or a wenserver, or something esle?

Some website really crawl on the ibook - runners world being one of them. Their sloopy coding makes their site & forums pretty much unusable - everything seems to be lean & fast on BPTT That was tested with firefox 1.5.0.7 on Ubuntu Dapper Drake (PPC)
Kieren Oct 2006 1:11pm, 27 Oct 2006 0 posts	Kieren Oh Gobi, I should add a note of caution. Although I have never lost any data fom installing Linux, the risk is always there when installing, upgrading & particularly partitioning drives so it you have anything mission critical it would be wise to backup first.

Kieren Oct 2006 1:48pm, 27 Oct 2006 0 posts	Kieren Good stuff. Their forums are very gelpful - especiall the howto section. If you don't have burning software then this freeware (For Windows) is very handy. It burns .iso images to bootable CDs & that's all it does BurnCDCC - terabyteunlimited.com
