Whoah, I figured out Ubuntu, it's so weird!!!
It's super slick, but it's really confusing.
Few questions:
Is there a way of transferring my files from my normal partition to the Ubuntu one?
Or my bookmarks and such from websites?
And programs and all of that?

Thanks.

Yeah on ubuntu find your vista/xp partition and browse to find the files and copy them across.

My ubuntu that i installed last night made my vista squeal like a pig, it just bsods on start up.

Destroyed the bootloader
Didn't even touch the vista partition :'(
And after trying to restore the boot loader.... ubuntu doesn't work xD

Least my documents are safe xD

Ok thanks RnC.
It's pretty damn cool, the only complaints I have is that it's a little weird but clearly I'll get used to that.

I love ubuntu.

If photoshop worked on it natively i'd switch and not look back.

I remember I was able to get PS working on Ubuntu with Wine. Wine makes it possible to run Window apps on UNIX-based OS and have them act as native apps without them having the tacked-on penalties of running them through a VM.

In terminal.

wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
chmod 755 winetricks
./winetricks

--Insert PS cd, navigate to setup folder

wine Setup.exe

Profit.
