Hi :)

Note that any Ubuntu cd can be booted as a LiveCd so that while
installing you can still pop into here through firefox on the top
taskbar. It's a good idea to try this demo of Ubuntu on the particular
set of hardware.  Particularly if you plan to install Ubuntu onto it.
Doing so before installing Ubuntu, helps show how easy it's likely to be
to install (usually is easy).

To run a LiveCd simply put the Ubuntu Cd in the cd/dvd-drive and reboot the machine. It should get you to a menu with "Try Ubuntu without changes to this machine", if it doesn't then this guide might help
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromCD
Choosing the "Try Ubuntu ..." should get you to a working desktop which we call a "LiveCd session", if it works. Firefox on the top taskbar is probably the most useful part of this demo right now.

Please let us know how this goes
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
