Some clarifying questions

[Istimsak Abdulbasir]

Jose,

You can test an image using either VM, USB or DVD. Those options are still
available if you are just testing the logical (software) of the OS.

If you want to see confirm your laptop's hardware is works with ubuntu,
then you want to test the ubuntu images on bare metal, which means run the
images from a DVD or USB and run checkbox. The same thing can be done with
a PC.
