Like I've said before, many times, ALWAYS INSTALL EVERYTHING FROM THE "ADVANCED" OPTION. If you don't know the answer to a question, just click "Next." Make sure to UNCHECK the stuff you don't want to install, sketchy toolbars, mal-ware, anti-virus, the malware browser google chrome that slow your computer way down! Only install the products you want.Next: STOP typing "ADOBE READER" in the Search Bar. If you do that in google.com, only the spyware sites will be on the top. They pay google to be there as 'advertisement' and therefore are not checked for spyware or malware. You then click the big green download button and it's not adobe reader! Instead, just type what you are looking for in the Address Bar: adobe.com, hp.com, acer.com, samsung.com, crucial.com... Most anything you're looking for is just "name.com" :)Adobe's site http://www.adobe.comAdobe Reader NON-DC NO-Tracking update... less

This was the first time I have done this. I have discovered in doing so that it makes for a tighter release as can be seen in the Lite version a CD in size and fairly loaded considering the size. The release boots in under 6 secs on my PC. Ultimate Edition 3.6 (not the lite version) has a comprehensive set of software packages. Mate 1.6.0 is the default desktop environment (DE). Best over all for most software, games, running windows programs inside linux.http://ultimateedition.info/ultimate-edition/ultimate_edition_3-6 To test on a live cd, just boot to any Linux disc, choose Live CD or Test. Ubuntu regular can know be installed inside windows just like any other program. So it's like running Office, Photo Shop and can be uninstalled from Control Panel. http://www.ubuntu.com less

Only a few specialized programs that run only in Windows or Mac, that you may need for work. Would be the only reason for not using Linux 100% of the time. Most common Linux to switch from Windows or Mac to Linux, would be Ubuntu. Ubuntu When you download Ubuntu, there will be different versions. 32bit, 64bit, newest version supported for 18 months, new version ( missing some bells & whistles) supported for 5 years. Not to worry it will say which version does what. You can download Ubuntu, run it off the CD (LIVE CD), to test and see if you like it. Then it will have an option to install it, on the Live CD Desktop. You will also be given the choice to install it next to windows. Then on start up you have a choice of which to use. It has everything you have in windows plus some: internet browsers, firefox, chromium, opera, open office (libre office), video... less
