1. Enter BIOS and select your CD drive to be the startup one, then insert the CD and such. When your into the installation it will ask you what HD you want to use. (With Ubuntu)
2. Ubuntu

K, so I just go into my BIOS, slip in the ubuntu CD and select what hard drive I want it installed on?

You enter your BIOS to select what drive you want your computer to boot up on, you select the CD drive then put in the CD and reboot the system. As for the selecting the hard drive, you do that during the installation of the system.

You can have the free CD sent to you. Or you can download and burn the .iso onto a CD
Either way its free
