Distro easy to install, uninstall and dialup connect to the internet


I have a PORTABLE HP COMPAQ 6910P with a Microsoft Windows XP.

I have a good dialup connection to my provider.

I would like to have alongside with the Microsoft Windows XP, a linux distribution with instructions clear and easy to follow
1- that can be INSTALLED alongside with the Microsoft Windows XP;
2- that can be easily UNINSTALLED;
3- that can be connected to my ISP by the phone line.

Could someone do me the favour of suggesting one or more distributions that I could try.

Thanking you in advance

If you have chosen Ubuntu, stick with it

The questions is: If you want to uninstall it later, why should you install it in the first place? Just use a live CD for this, since you are already using Ubuntu this might be your first choice.

Thank you for answering my question. I have Ubuntu in another computer. It is connected with my ISP with a high speed connection. I recently got the PORTABLE HP COMPAQ 6910P with a Microsoft Windows XP as a back up. Using a live CD I tried unsuccessfuly to connect to my IPS using a dialup connection. I wish to be able to uninstall it just in case it does not work.
