Yeah... ubuntu sucks balls:

Amazon search integration turned ON by default?! WTH?!
Use Fedora, or just the basic Debian if you really want the .deb packaging system and repositories you'll find in ubuntu... or Mint.
Also, if you're noobing it out, use virtualbox in windows and install your linux distro in there... you can even make several virtual disks, each with one different linux distro so you can compare them all, before actual messing up your disks boot record(s).
Virtualbox works best if your processor supports virtualization (Intel or AMD).
