Answer 1

Unix is an open source. You can either order Kubuntu or download it. Its absolutely  free. Goto Kubuntu's site.

Now how to install (This is for Kubuntu)

Insert the CD and boot from it. (Select the boot from CD option ahead of your harddisk in your BIOS settings.)

Now select 'manually edit partition'.

Then you have to delete the partition that is empty and after that create 2 other naming "swap" (keep it 512 MB) and another linux ext3 (allocate it the rest size) and then mount the first as swap and then the second as root.

There will be options for all these.
