What is the best way to install Linux Ubuntu?

I am looking to install Linux on my laptop (Dell Inspiron E1705). During installation I was asked if I wanted to install it under Windows or as a stand alone. I have partitioned my hard drive so the installation as a standalone is no problem, but this is my first time attempting to work with Linux. .

Are there any other issues I might have to face, and if so what is the best way to deal with them???

Thanks in advance.
