Yep, but be careful with partitioning it could wipe your vista.

I know thats why I was afraid to do it in the first place. I guess i'll prob boot gparted first and create a partition with that. I'll prob make it 20gb or so b/c my C drive is almost full. lol Well im downloading it at 600kb/s so It shall be done soon.

One more question: How do some people get those awesome sidebars?
 

It is called Screenlets, It should be included with Ubuntu Ultimate Edition, It would be located in System>Preferences>Screenlets --- The Screenlet is called : Sysmonitor. www.gnome-look.org has a Section for them.
 
^^ Ok so I have it installed. I installed the nvidia drivers and it wont let me change the screen resolution!! Im stumped
 
thanks, i know how to do that but it doesn't work for some reason!?
Edit:
Nor can i do it with my lap top

Then use the Snipping tool on Vista. Go to Start - All programs. Then go to accessories and double click "Snipping Tool".

If you downloaded ubuntu Ultimate 1.8, There should be a Program called EnvyNG, In Applications>System Tools>EnvyNG ----But if you already have some other nvidia Drivers, Uninstall them before running EnvyNG.

I did that already. They installed succcessfully but once I restarted Ubuntu nor Nvidia would let me change the resolution. I then un-installed the drivers and now I can change the resolution but, graphics are not that good. What gives?
 
Here is desktop one of four - the three others are essentially the same when running
SuSE. I use KDE on everything (SuSE, Fedora) but Ubuntu, which uses the GNOME Desktop. Thought I was an outcast, but, obviously, I see that there's finally some familiar Linux faces :) so disregard my message I wrote.


By the way: Everything's translucent and I have had 0 lockups, 0 problems and 0 BSODs (kernel panics) - I run four computers: two with AMD Athlon 64 x2, one with a Sempron, one with a Pentium 4 (the last two are just file servers; the first two are the ones I use - one A64x2's at home and the other is sitting on my desk at work.) The Sempron FS is at home and the P4's at work, used in conjunct with the Math Dept's server - really, it's only a backup server:P to Queen Dell Core 2 Quad sitting in a dark, cramped, stuffy and hot closet busily serving up grades, schedules and virtual lessons 24/7/180 (well, 365 but summer's in).

You might have to Manually Edit your xorg.conf, Ask for some help from their FORUM
Are you using Ubuntu Ultime Edition x64?
 
^^ Alright when I get back home I will post on their forum. Yes, I am using 64bit. I did some research and found out that 64bit has more problems with nvidia drivers than 32bit does. So, I might end up trying 32bit.
