One option with Ubuntu is to use the Wubi installer. It doesn't require burning a CD, and instead installs Ubuntu into a disk image. Though a bit slower due to the IO redirection, I've never noticed it myself. It also means that you don't have to repartition your drive. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide I wouldn't totally give up on virtualization, even on older systems. I run an Ubuntu VM in VirtualBox on a system that's nearly 4 years old and it works quite well. As all of the software needed is free, it only costs an hour or two of your time and you might end up pleasantly surprised. --Andrew
