Make sure that you have anything and everything you could possibly want or need backed up.  That goes for whenever you are (re)installing an OS.  Also, make sure you have the computer plugged into the internet.  No matter how new the CD is, you will always have updates to install.

Distro = "Distribution" - in other words "Ubuntu," or "Kubuntu," or "Edubuntu," etc.

It's good for not playing games, but I enjoy it for that purpose. Get ready to use the terminal. :D

Visual studio express is much easier to use than anything you can get for linux, in my opinion.

I still haven't found a Linux IDE similar to MS VS or DevC++ (I know there is a Linux version, its on a CD I have to buy). Or rather, gotten one to work. :P
