I've been using linux off and on since 1995-1996 (gosh, has it been that long?). It's only been in the last couple years that I feel confortable enough to use it day to day as a primary OS (actually put it on my wife's laptop and she's fine with it surprisingly enough). So all the seat time you've got with Windows? You don't have that with Linux and you're going to have problems. Anyone that says the switch is painless blah blah is high on the rock. Y creo que hay algo que no esta configurado correctamente en su BIOS (para boot desde el DVD). Tambien es posible que el disco no fue quemado (burned) correctamente....
