From my limited experience of Ubuntu, it is fairly easy to install.
Usually it is successful when installed on a machine in which it is the
only operating system. Making it work with other operating systems is
harder. There is a local user group in my area called "wellylug". These
guys know far more about it than I do. Members use this address
wellylug@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
to post comments, suggestions etc on such matters. Their site is here:

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
