I decided to move to Ubuntu. Here are quick steps:

• Install Windows.
• Download bootable Ubuntu CD. Boot it. Try it. Use partition utility in System menu to create 2 partitions for Ubuntu - one as unused, where will be Ubuntu installed later and second linux-swap type.
• Follow instructions, make sure you are connected to internet - neccessary to download apt repository index. Reboot.
• Add secondary keyboard: System - Keyboard - Layouts and then in “Layout Options - Group shift/lock behaviour” choose Alt+Shift to switch keyboard’s layouts
• Check content of /etc/apt/sources.list - repositories should be uncommented, so installing packages (e.g. plugins to Firefox) may work.
• Searching for packages is described here. For example: apt-cache search php
