Its easy to install Ubuntu from a CD. Heres what you need to do: Put the Ubuntu CD into the CD/DVD-drive. Restart your computer. You should see a welcome screen prompting you to choose your language and giving you the option to install Ubuntu or try it from the CD.

If you don't get this menu, read the booting from the CD guide for more information. b. Using a USB drive? Most newer computers can boot from USB.

Ubuntu set up comes with a set of applications installed so that you dont need to look for applications. For browsing purpose, you have Firefox installed. For word processing and spreadsheet purpose, you have OpenOffice installed. Using OpenOffice on Ubuntu is a pretty good experience, but most people still prefer Microsoft Office. In this guide, we will show you how to install Microsoft Office 2007 on your Ubuntu 12.04 LTS a. Install Wine To install MS office on Ubuntu you need to install WINE. Wine is a Windowscompatibility layer that supports running all sorts of Windows applications on Ubuntu and Linux distros. To install wine go to Applications > Ubuntu Software Center and type in Wine. Click the Install button on the first result. You will be prompted to enter your password, then Ubuntu Software Center will download Wine. When Wine is properly installed, you can check out the Wine configuration from Applications > Wine > Configure Wine.

Start Installing Microsoft Office Now Wine is installed, you can go to install MS Office.

When you enter the serial key correctly, you will see the installation screen. Here, you will have two options to choose from. The install button will install the total suite while the customize button will let you handpick which programs to install.

We suggest to go for customize, because MS Office comes with a lot of programs, most of which you probably dont need (InfoPath, for example). In the customize screen, pull down the menu before programs name and choose Not Available to avoid installing that particular software on your Ubuntu.

In the customize option, you will find three separate tabs. The first one was covered above. The other tabs are for installation location and the other is for user information. You should leave the installation location where it is (make no change). You can of course change your name from the user information tab.
