Xubuntu is a open source project that is made for older computers Instead of using GNOME that Ubuntu uses it uses Xfce a desktop envirement for slower computers that do not have the RAM it needs to download Ubuntu. Xubuntu needs at least 1.5gb of hardrive space and 64 mb is bootable but you need 192 mb to install but 256 mb is strongly recommended. Xubuntu uses on-disk.com instead of ubuntu`s shipit service it is called quickship but you can still get free cds. There is also eeexubuntu for Asus eee pc.
Why pay Windows if you can get Linux for free?
Linux can run on mac or pc with no harm to the drive. You can boot off the disk not touching your hardisk or you can install inside the current os running and take up as small as 3gbs and still have the same os you were running before and have it run like it was installed. You can also install onto the whole drive. To boot off the disk put the disk in the drive and restart. Then a menu will come up. Now you can boot off the disk or install. If you booted off the disk then remember you can not save files. If you want to install linux with the curent os running and you can save files.
