I want to add this:

For now? If I were the one "telling you want to do" I'd tell you:
Just boot into the OS via CD.

Otherwise - really - Use Virtual PC 2007 beta and use that. That
would be wonderful too 'cause then you will need to poke, learn to
run as root so that you can make sound work, etc. :)

I have no doubts about your capacity - and I'm sure you'll do fine.
BUT doing it in a situation where you're able to get access to
newgroups or forums will make it easier for you. I really used to
sit people down, take away their Windows, and then leave them like
that and if they really wanted they'd read the book, configure the
modem or network, and they'd be able to get their email. Today I
don't resort to such tactics having found that it is really better
to merge slowly.

*grins* Anyhow - enjoy your trek to Linuxland. I believe there is a
place for Linux, Mac, and Windows. Then again, I'm probably insane
or something.

Does Ubuntu have a fax program?

Alias
Took another peek at the Live CD and it does, indeed, have a fax
program.

It sure does and if it didn't then you'd need grab (installing under
Linux is fairly easy these days) a build for your chosen OS and, with
Ubuntu, you'd want .deb packages.
What's a .deb package? It doesn't convert the faxes into .tif files like
XP does? Can someone with 98 or XP read a .deb package if I were to
email it to them?

A .deb package is how software packages get bundled up for installation
within a Debian/Ubuntu system. When you use Synaptic through the GUI or
apt-get through the CLI, you're actually downloading .deb files from the
Ubuntu repositories. These package files contain compiled
applications/libraries along with built-in instructions telling the
system where to install the files, how to add an application to the menu
system and where to put any documentation files that might be included.
Although you can pickup .deb files from all sorts of places, it's always
best to get them from the Ubuntu repositories using the tools outlined
above.

Cheers.
I meant what type of file will the faxes I receive be in? I installed
Ubuntu just now and I have downloaded all the updates which are
currently installing.

No idea, as I don't use fax. That's so old world technology. :-)

In Spain, a fax with a signature on it is a legal document. The same document sent by email is not a legal document, even if scanned.



When I installed it, I couldn't understand how to do the partitioning so
I just went for the default, let Ubuntu do it configuration. Can I add a
partition later?

Of course you can add partitions and more hard drives later. You can even
reassign directory structures to other partitions. But you need to use
GNU/Linux for awhile before you start messing with this stuff.

Cheers.

Point taken.

Thanks again,

Alias


One caveat...

Programs that use (such as internet connection) phones seem to
sometimes be a pain to configure. It takes a little bit of work and
sometimes a lot of research but I'm sure you'll get it.

I have a dedicated fax phone line and my Internet connection is cable.
