Hello!!

I want to install linux on my system. Which flavour would be preferrable in that-Fedora or Ubuntu?

• As far as look and cool GUI is concerned, Fedora is preferred.

-But, there are many dependencies that need to be resolved with Fedora. So, Ubuntu is preferred as a stable version.

Can I get proper suggestions on the above?

Ubuntu and Fedora both have live CDs available. Before installation, run them live on your system and as Dinesh mentioned, check if all your hardware works and then in those CDs itself there is the installation option. If you already have Windows installed on your system, better do some homework about partitions before you accidently knock off your running system.
