@crypto-fan, you'll have to make a bootable usb-drive on any other computer. instructions are here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows.
Why are switching to linux and what advantages do you expect it to have over windows? just curious :)
i'm curious too :)
I am diving into unknown to be honest, don't know what to expect. I have no previous programming experience so this is a big challange for me. This could also go wrong and end up with windows. Any advice and critisism is welcome.
Keep us informed! I'm also considering this in the future, would like to hear your experiences!
