How to get Linux

You can download the ISO file from here, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download. I will put instructions as to how to burn an ISO file soon. It is not hard though. You could probably figure it out on your own. If you like I could also send you an Ubuntu, Kubuntu, or Xubuntu disc. Just post a comment saying when you want and where, or e-mail me at limondirk@yahoo.com to give instructions as to how to give you the disc. You download the ISO file for Xubuntu from http://xubuntu.org/get. If you want Kubuntu go to http://kubuntu.org/download.php.

Beta versions of Ubuntu(I am surprised that this page still exists):

    My favorite ISO recorder for Windows is titled… well… “ISO Recorder” Haha. (http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm)

    It’s quite nifty. You download it, and then when you wish to burn an ISO, you right click the ISO file, click “Copy Image to a CD” and the rest is easy. Here are a link to the instructions. (as well as a great many instructions for other programs with ISO writing capabilities) http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm
