Um, partition the hard drive...hmmm...I have no idea how to do that. My computer actually has two hard drives, so can I put Ubuntu on one of them?

It's been over 10 years since I had a Mac, and I'm glad to hear that they are compatible with the overwhelming PC world. Macs are the only computers I used for many years. I think my family got one of the first ones way back in 1984 (and my Dad probably still has it in the attic!) Then we got a Lisa--remember those?? I may look into going the Mac route again in the future, but for now, my PC works for me but I'm going to investigate the Ubuntu option.
