Fun with Linux: How to wipe out Windows to install Ubuntu, then decorate with a penguin

Here's a how-to video for installing Ubuntu, and a cute Penguin cut-out

If you've got some non-geek friends and relatives that need to be convinced to give Linux a try, here's a how-to video to help. It will walk them through how to install Ubuntu to any Windows machine, to set up the fun stuff like the music store and using a dual-monitor setup -- and even how to uninstall and go back to Windows (though, who would do that?). Once you've made them a convert, they can print out and enjoy this cute mascot penguin cut-out, too, courtesy of Aberdeen.
