How to get on Facebook using Ubuntu

This one is mainly for my friend who's account gets shut off everyday at a certain time, so if your account is like that, then you can use this video too. What you need to do is get Ubuntu from here. You can either download the *.iso file and burn it to a CD or you can request a free CD. Whichever you decide to do, once you have the disk, turn on your computer, put the disc in the drive. Shutdown the computer, and then you can watch the video from there. This video is mainly showing how to get on Facebook, because I think that is part of what my friend would use on this. Just make sure to remember once you get to the start-up menu, DO NOT INSTALL IT. Only install Ubuntu on your computer if you don't mind having all of the files and programs currently on your computer deleted. Installing will format the drive and you won't have a Windows operating system anymore. If you are on a shared computer I would suggest not installing Ubuntu.
