I have been trying to install ubuntu on a virtual machine with no luck. How do i go about doing this?

XP Home becuase I just can't see a reason to spend money on XP Pro for this Laptop. XP Media Center on the other box becuase its cheap and XP and it is a media center. My old system was a Win 2k Pro priated copy becuase I was in HS when I built it the parts set me back enough. The other system I built around the same time is a Win 98 SE becuase it was simple and good at the time but they need to replace that PC now.

gunslinger: it should just install? You boot to the cd and run the installer. It fully supports vmware so try that?

slackware 12 K 2.6.22.1 & xp pro sp2....

greggh: I have been using virtual pc, but i'll try vmware. I can boot up from the CD but i get to the install it fuzzes out and all i get are lines on screen.

Just a quick question. I am currently using Windows XP Pro on all my PCs and laptops.

I am interested in Linux Ubuntu. I was told that I would have to do a complete reinstall of Windows and then install Linux. Is that true. I really hate reinstalling Windows. Can someone help with the information. Thanks

Figured it out thanks to youtube vids, i'm now running ubuntu on my virtual machine.

nothing to be afraid of, just put it on a virtual machine and play with it. The only real problem i have found with vista is the lack of software that actually works with it.
