In general it is easiest to build from source, so assuming you have build-essential installed on Ubuntu you can just download the source tarball and run "make" and come back after a couple hours and Sage should have finished building. It is easier than it sounds and you will get a binary with optimum performance and tuning for your computer. If you run into any trouble just let us know and we will do our best to help you fix the problem. If you want to run Sage on Windows you need to install the VMWare player (which is free as in beer) from the VMWare website. But this requires that you have at least PNI (hence the question about the / proc/cpuinfo output) since the current Sage 3.2.3 VMWare image was build with PNI.
