Hello,
Based upon your comments I think that I would rather
go with the new version. I was able to download a
copy from the Ubuntu website. I assume that once I
get an older version working I can do an upgrade as
is the case with Windows to 9.04.

The main advantage is that it will work with some of the latest video
hardware and it seems to be free from a lot of the earlier versions
problems. It has just one kernel so far and it just works well.

Thomas,
If you are interested in building a dual boot system here is a how to
for XP and Feisty. The process should be mostly the same for current
distros.
http://www.howtoforge.com/dual_boot_windows_xp_vista_ubuntu_feisty
Honestly, I have never built a dual boot system. (If others have
better advice let Thomas know.) Normally I will build an Ubuntu system
and then do an XP system with virtual-box (Virtualization Software). My
logic is that with virtual-box I can clone the XP machine and when the
XP system is compromised I can recover easily.
Hope this helps.

The USB key is a bootable/runnable LINUX image. You can
install/deinstall software just like a hard drive to customize
to your needs.....
