Re: Ubuntu Torrent
1. If u dont have fast internet wait for Digit to give..
2. Download the .torrent file from ubuntu site and use it from a torrent client to start downloading.
3. Install Vista First.... Create two new raw partitions.. One with 6+ GBs.. to install OS and other within 1 GB for SWAP memory...
While installing ubuntu, select the "Install GRUB Boot Loader" (It will be enabled by default)
So u have a dual boot now

Re: Ubuntu Torrent
Yeah sachin_kothari is right, one swap can be used by any number of *nix+Solaris distributions.

What he meant to say was that the site is perfectly legal to visit and post here.
@shrish_nagar - Mostly it does, but in cases where it doesn't it isn't that difficult to make an adjustment to the currently active GRUB.

Enterprise editions of some distros are illegal to download and use from torrents unless you have paid for it.
