One of my colleagues was impressed by the 3D desktop, driven by CompizConfig on my Ubuntu 10.04.

He then asked me how to install one on his ThinkPad T43 machine. Giving the steps:

1. Find a 2G USB key. Click Download @ http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop
2. You’d be given an ISO file. Then follow the step 2 & select “Create a USB stick” @ http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
   
3. Restart your Windows then boot from USB key
4. From the same page you can either run Ubuntu from USB to start the installation
