Clean install of Linux

by k861974 . Updated 16 years, 5 months ago

Am having a Toshiba Satellite M200 laptop which came with Vista Home Basic preinstalled. When I found Vista as troublesome I tried installing XP but driver support wasn’t there. Recently I upgraded to Windows 7. Though I am not facing any problems with my current OS, still I would like to know whether I can install Linux Ubuntu as the only OS in my system.
If yes, then how to do it? Will I get drivers for all the component?
I heard Linux is very secure; is it so when compared to Windows? Suggestions and ideas welcome.
PS: Am not a techie, please layman’s answer would be appreciated.
Thanks to all the contributors here. Am getting more answers here than anywhere and plausible too…lols.
