Q. What is the procedure to install Linux, tell me the entire procedure for installation and the after procedure, what to do and what not to do while installing and even after installation, and what is mounting.
A. Here are some options for installing or trying out Linux
Option One (Full installation)
I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 8 Main Edition which is built upon Ubuntu 9.10 Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled

You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint 8 then you need to create a Bootable LiveCD for installation
Linux Mint 8 can also be run direct from the LiveCD from Booting up without touching your Hard Drive
Option Two (Install Ubuntu inside Windows XP and Vista)
Installing Ubuntu as a dual-boot with Windows without partitioning
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wubi
You keep Windows as it is, Wubi only adds an extra option to boot into Ubuntu. Wubi does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, or to use a different bootloader, and does not install special drivers. It works just like any other application.
Wubi keeps most of the files in one folder, and if you do not like it, you can simply uninstall it as any other application.
Boot in to windows insert the Ubuntu 9.10 LiveCD and you will offered the option of installing inside windows which is where the Wubi installer comes in, you will be asked how many gigabytes you wish to allocate to Ubuntu (I recommend 8gb) then you set a password for your installation then click install and thats it.
Once Ubuntu is fully installed upon starting your PC you will be given a choice of which operating system you want to use Windows or Ubuntu

Why do I find Linux so appealing and so difficult to migrate to?
Q. I've had a partition with a linux distro on about every computer I've owned. I will install the OS, do the updates, run into some compatibility issues and not bother any longer. How can I solve this?
A. Bottom line: get over thinking that Linux is an Operating System like Windoze or Mac. Linux is a kernel that runs UNIX programs. Who runs UNIX? People who are willing to invest the time and the energy into resolving compatibility issues. Some of them are geeks. Some of them are not. But if you want to migrate over to Linux you have to assume responsibility for configuring your own computer -- something even Micro$oft only pretends to take responsibility for.
How to install Linux on drive that already has Windows installed?
Q. I have a laptop that currently has Windows 7 installed.
I want to install Linux on the computer as well, and have the choice to boot into either of them.
How can I do this? Please elaborate on the formatting/partitions part, as this seems to be very unclear anywhere I have looked.
