Simply use Unetbootin (http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/) to write the ISO. It supports Windows (personally tested) also supports Linux and Mac. Or, if you already have a Ubuntu machine, there's a "startup disk creator" application you can find in the dash.
You can download the iso from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop LTS 14.04.2 is the default-selected version, and is a very good choice unless you either want really bleeding edge stuff, or have a known technical requirement for a different version. You just need to pick 32-bit or 64-bit (for most modern machines, 64-bit is likely) and click the top Download button (on the purple background). Then, make a donation (or click "no thanks" at the bottom, because they don't take Bitcoin) on the next page, and your download will start.

http://rufus.akeo.ie/ It's a very small download (800 kB) and there is also a portable version. Depending on how old your computer is though, it might be a better idea to choose a more lightweight distro such as Puppy Linux (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puppy_Linux) (or even Browser Linux (http://www.puppylinux.org/) if all you want to do is web browsing). |
