Yes you could just use the Grub Bootloader that Ubuntu Supplies.

Awesome So it will just ask which OS to boot from, right? At default will it boot Ubuntu or Vista?

M0LD0V4N · 08-01-2008, 12:47 AM

Yep, but be careful with partitioning it could wipe your vista.

I know thats why I was afraid to do it in the first place. I guess i'll prob boot gparted first and create a partition with that. I'll prob make it 20gb or so b/c my C drive is almost full. lol Well im downloading it at 600kb/s so It shall be done soon.

One more question: How do some people get those awesome sidebars?

It is called Screenlets, It should be included with Ubuntu Ultimate Edition, It would be located in System>Preferences>Screenlets --- The Screenlet is called : Sysmonitor. www.gnome-look.org has a Section for them.
