Hello,

On the wiki there is a guide to help move from Windows to Ubuntu, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows, and also for Edgy, the doc team worked up a guide that has taken from that wiki page and provided a little more information. Hope that helps you out.

You also might find this information on generally installing software in Ubuntu useful: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware?highlight=%28software%29%7C%28installing%29
