Specifically: Ubuntu.
More specifically: MythBuntu.

I may get normal Ubuntu if it all goes well, but MythBuntu came free with a linux magazine, and is intended for new users more than experienced users. Plus it comes with the feature of using a wireless network adapter as a bluetooth hub, so I can share my files with the downstairs TV (my TV is crap)
As it happens, the disc comes with MythBuntu, Fedora, Mandriva, OpenSUSE, Antix, and Haiku, so I can, as the magazine puts it, 'Choose my flavour'

At the moment, it's only testing how everything works, once I get my Vista laptop, i'll uninstall Linux, move my files to Vista, then reset XP so that my Mum can use it, she's buying off me for £100-£150 because she's helping me towards my Vista fund.

So, I need a Linux expert.
Someone who knows about MythBuntu, who can help me take a look through and help me install it on my XP.

Also, anyone who does help, don't expect me to zoom in, i'm only trying them out for when I get Vista.
