Hi :) If you are thinking of installing Ubuntu then there are a number of ways of doing it that keep your system as it is. You do NOT need to wipe your current OS.
1. On a Virtual Machine such as VirtualBox, inside your OS 2. Run Ubuntu as a boot-cd, linux user would say "Live Cd". Ubuntu 10.04 and onwards tend to be a bit awkward but it might be worth a try. 3. Install Ubuntu as a dual-boot alongside your current OS I can help you with 3 (or 1 or 2). For 1 it would help to know which OS you mostly use. However, if you are only doing this for the screen-shots then it might be a better idea to leave the screen-shots to someone else and just let people know which shots need to be replaced. There are already a few people doing it that way. I think even people that do the screenshots and the rest tend to do the screenshots in a separate session, perhaps getting a batch of 2 or 3 screenshots (perhaps more) and then doing more editing. The work-flow seems better that way i think?

Meanwhile I will start preparing the screenshots offline.. Sufyan Hi :) Screen-shots need to be done in Ubuntu or Mint or other linux NOT Windows, except in very special cases where it's a close-up where you can't tell it's in Windows (ie no title-bar or Status-bar but perhaps the LO menus & icons.
