upgrade from windows to ubuntu

Step 9 WOOT WOOT YOUR DONE! TIME TO MESS AROUND WITH IT

Ok, now that you are done, have a super fast computer, and hopefully a good looking os, you can mess around with this yourself. There are so many things you can do on ubuntu, so many more things then Windows or mac.

I put XUBUNTU on my Acer Aspire 9300, and I've managed to get everything to work but the built-in mic, and itunes: any suggestions?

Itunes might be a problem because Ubuntu frowns on programs like it. There are plenty of other options for music so it shouldn't be that big of a problem.

As for the mic., there might be a problem with the driver software. Ubuntu has alot of drivers built in (It recognized my built in wifi) but more could be in the software center so see if anyone built one. If not Google is your friend.

I can't get to the internet with my Ubuntu installation.

It doesn't, as far as I know. Judging from your post, it would be better for you to use Wubi. Wine is bad, keep away from it. You could get drunk. (haha, joke) But seriously, I don't know what you meant. Wine _runs_ programs not _downloads_ them. You need to download the program first. BTW, Not all the the programs work, so don't be surprised that your copy of xxxxxxx doesn't work.
