“Do you want to install Ubuntu or any other Linux distribution
on your netbook? If yes, then allow me to show you the necessary
steps needed in order to do so.

“Installing Ubuntu on a netbook is pretty easy but before taking
the plunge, it’s important to do a little more research on whether
your netbook’s hardware such as webcam, Wi-Fi, and trackpad among
others are well supported. But if you are ready, then let’s get
down to business:

“1. First, you will need to download an Ubuntu ISO installer
from HERE. If you want, you can also check out some other Linux
distributions for netbooks. Also, make sure you have an empty USB
thumbdrive that we will use later on.

“2. Next up, download and install UNetbootin. It’s available for
Windows and Linux systems, and you can get it from HERE.”
