The area of privacy that we are working with is freedom from damaging publicity, public scrutiny, secret surveillance, or unauthorized disclosure of one’s personal data or information, by a government, corporation, or individual. Ordinary citizens have a qualified right to privacy. There is so much information about us online that personal privacy may be a thing of the past. It is my hope that with this guide you will have enough information and maybe some tools to protect privacy better.

Here is the short way to install Linux on your hard drive, dual-booting with Windows.
1. Download UNetbootin from its homepage
2. Insert a USB key (memory stick). It needs to have FAT32 format. It probably came that way, but if not then check the Web for how to fix that using your OS.
3. Run UNetbootin.
4. Click Select Distribution, and choose Ubuntu. Then choose the latest Live version in the window to the right.
5. For Type, choose USB Drive, and for Drive, choose the drive in which your USB key is inserted.
6. Click OK.
7. After the installation to your USB key finishes, choose Exit.
8. Leaving your key in the drive, restart your laptop.
9. Select the choice labeled something like Try Ubuntu.
10. Once Ubuntu boots up, try to use the WiFi: Click on the proper icon at the top right of the screen, and select your wireless network. If none appears, then for now, connect your machine to an Ethernet jack, say at a public library or copy shop.
11. Follow directions. If asked whether you want third-party software to be installed, say yes.
12. Reboot (remove the USB key when the screen goes dark).
13. If WiFi didn’t work above, it should work now. You may have to click a pop-up window that asks If you want to use the proprietary drivers.
