The easiest and most common method for getting Ubuntu is to download the Ubuntu \acronym{CD} image directly from \url{http://www.ubuntu.com}. Head to the website and click the ``Download Ubuntu'' link. Select whether you require the 32-bit or 64-bit version (32-bit is recommended for most users), then click ``Start Download.''

\marginnote{\emph{32-bit} and \emph{64-bit} are types of processor architectures. 64-bit is newer, and most recent computers will come with a 64-bit capable processor. See \chaplink{ch:learning-more} for more information.} You may notice the words ``Ubuntu Desktop Edition 32-bit'' underneath the start download button on the website. If you are unsure what 32-bit means, don't worry. The 32-bit version will work on most computers, so if in doubt, simply proceed with the download. However, if you know that your computer is capable of using 64-bit software, you may wish to try the 64-bit version instead. To do this, click on the ``64-bit'' option before you click ``Start download.''

\marginnote{\textbf{Torrents} are a way of sharing files and information around the Internet via peer-to-peer file sharing. A file with a .torrent extension is made available to users, which is then opened with a compatible program such as uTorrent, Deluge, or Transmission. These programs download parts of the file from other people all around the world.} When a new version of Ubuntu is released, the download \glspl{server} can get ``clogged'' as large numbers of people try to download or upgrade Ubuntu at the same time. If you are familiar with using torrents, you may wish to download the torrent file by clicking ``Alternative downloads,'' to obtain your copy of the \acronym{CD} image this way instead. You may see significant improvements to your download speed, and will also be helping to spread Ubuntu to other users worldwide.

\marginnote{While the 64-bit version of Ubuntu is referred to as the ``AMD64'' version, it will work on Intel, AMD, and other compatible 64-bit processors.} Once your download is complete, you will be left with a file called \emph{ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso} or similar (\emph{i386} here in the filename refers to the 32-bit version. If you had downloaded the 64-bit version, the filename would contain \emph{amd64} instead). This file is a \acronym{CD} image\dash a snapshot of the contents of a \acronym{CD}\dash which you will need to burn to a \acronym{CD}. You can find detailed instructions at \url{https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto}.

If your \acronym{PC} will boot from a \acronym{USB} port, you may opt to use a \acronym{USB} memory stick instead of a Live \acronym{CD}. You can find further instructions at \url{https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/installation-guide/i386/boot-usb-files.html}. If you choose this option, your installation will be running from the \acronym{USB} memory stick. In this case, references to Live \acronym{CD}, will refer to the \acronym{USB} memory stick.

The Ubuntu \acronym{CD} functions not only as an installation \acronym{CD} for putting Ubuntu onto your computer, but also as a Live \acronym{CD}. A Live \acronym{CD} allows you to test Ubuntu without making any permanent changes to your computer by running the entire operating system from the \acronym{CD}.

Your computer reads information from a \acronym{CD} at a much slower speed than it can read information off of a hard drive. Running Ubuntu from the Live \acronym{CD} also occupies a large portion of your computer's memory, which would usually be available for applications to access when Ubuntu is running from your hard drive. The Live \acronym{CD} experience will therefore feel slightly slower than it does when Ubuntu is actually installed on your computer. Running Ubuntu from the \acronym{CD} is a great way to test things out and allows you to try the default applications, browse the Internet, and get a general feel for the operating system. It's also useful for checking that your computer hardware works properly in Ubuntu and that there are no major compatibility issues.

Finally, the icon farthest to the right is the \emph{trash}, which performs a similar function to the Recycle Bin in Windows or the Trash in Mac \acronym{OS X}. Any files you delete are first sent to the trash. To see the contents of the trash, click on this icon. You can empty it by clicking on the \button{Empty Trash} button in the window that appears, or alternatively by right-clicking the trash icon in the bottom panel and selecting \menu{Empty Trash} from the menu. This will permanently delete any files or folders that it contains.
