yeah , ubuntu is preferable. as said in the website, installation is less than 30 minutes i think. easy installation, comes with web browser(firefox/mozilla) and also word processor(open ofice).

Getting Started

Most windowns installations take up all the space on your hard drive, leaving no room for installing linux. The first and most difficult thing you must do is clear some space where linux can be installed. linux needs to have partitions of its own, but windons does not have the ability to resixe partitions. ordinarily, ths mean you would have to delete your existing partitions ( everything on it) to make room on the drive and then create partitions of smaller sizes and reinstall.
