  • If you want to be sure, you're better off looking at the actual specs of your hardware rather than relying on a rule of thumb based on what other software can run on it. – IMSoP Jul 20 '14 at 09:14
  • Best way is to just run off the ubuntu DVD in live mode (the default Ubuntu DVD iso images that you download will boot in live mode). Play around with the live mode and when satisfied then go on to install. Of course, before install you will want to follow other guidelines like backup data etc. – sumwale Jul 20 '14 at 09:16
  • yes ofcourse it can but be sure you have seperate drives for both of them and to be sure give your hardware configuration – Chinmaya B Jul 20 '14 at 09:20

Go see for yourself.

Download an Ubuntu Desktop ISO, create a bootable USB stick or burn a DVD, boot it up and select "Try Ubuntu".

This will not alter your hard drive or install anything, Ubuntu will be run from the installation medium. If you like it, just click on the "install" icon on your desktop.
