Easiest way to copy files and then change OS from Win.XP to Mac’s Ubuntu?

L H asked:

I am currently running Win XP. Well, there’s may layers of it on my PC (I didn’t do that myself, don’t ask why the person did). I have many graphics programs installed, and more images of my art tahn you could shake a mouse at. I prefer to use Ubuntu (Linux type of OS) instead, as it runs smoother and thakes way less memory than XP – not to mention the added benefit of having 1 OS and that’s it. What files can I copy to CD to reinstall after the OS change, what’s the best way to do this, and *can I* copy installed progs to reinstall after? These are progs I no longer have the original disk for, the cd spindle was lost when we moved. Help?

I’m an average user who is interested in switching to a Linux distro from Windows XP at some point in the near future. I’ve used Windows OS’s pretty exclusively since about 1993, and I’ve heard that all of the Ubuntu distros are very good for Linux noobs. I am concerned about system resource usage, but I also want something that looks and feels similar to what I’m accustomed to. Is there a significant difference between the look and feel of Xubuntu, Kubuntu, and Ubuntu? I’ve already ruled out Edubuntu since I don’t need a lot of those software packages.

How do I get Ubuntu to not scan the CD everytime I open nautilus?

Tim F asked:

With a CD in the drive, everytime I open a file browser window, the CD spins up for about 20 seconds (presumably while Ubuntu loads the icon). Is there any way to stop it doing this?
