Ok sorry for double post... I installed kubuntu but when launched from my menu it does the loading thing then gives me a screen with a whole bunch of lines... Kind of like the screen when your overclocking and your computer crashes that type of screen but it just sits there...

Welcome to the Linux club. Did you use the Windows installer or not? Is there any text whatsoever?

Ubuntu is my favorite Linux distro, although since the switch to Unity I've been wanting to try Linux Mint since it goes back to the old standard of taskbar + "start" menu. I find Ubuntu is much better than Kubuntu, though, because KDE is quite resource-intensive and sometimes very confusing navigationally ( <- Is that not a word? I got the red underline. ).
