Is your system up to date atm? If not, update first.

Do a dual boot?

Insert your CD into your CD Drive, Boot into your CD and just install. You must have swap place because without swap place will make Ubuntu make abit slower. Also, don't choose Ext4, I have that and too slow for me. So choose Ext3 will more steady.

uhm will my system be slower if i put it alongside windows?

[LunarWolf]

You meant dual boot? No, it won't slow your windows down. But if you install inside windows, I think it might. Because you are installing an OS in another OS. But if you do dual boot, is 2 different OS all together. Hope that answer your question.

I still need someone to answer mine...
