Hello and welcome Adriaan,
I think UberStudent is a good starting point to get into Linux.

I have a HP Pavilion G6 (intel core i3), is Uberstudent compatible with it's drivers and setting?
Your hardware seems to be quite new, so the best way would be to test UberStudent in live mode (In fact, when you burn the image to DVD or USB and start up UberStudent, it will boot into a live mode which allows you to do anything you want directly from the DVD/USB without touching your hard drives and Windows 7).
New hardware will most likely be supported by Ubuntu based systems such as UberStudent.

Can I configure a dual monitor, one being above my laptop screen?
Yes, no problem there. Plug in the second monitor and turn on your computer. The two screens will automatically show up in the screen settings.

Is UberStudent compatible with printers? I am thinking of getting HP Deskjet 3250.
Most printers are compatible with Linux, but it can be difficult to install the driver at times. Luckily, HP has a program for Linux called "HPLIP" which installs the needed drivers in an easy way

So no problem there.

Does UberStundent work well with dualboot systems? My friend advised me to do this
Yes, the UberStudent installer will ask you if you want to replace Windows or shrink the system.
You even can manually set up the partitions (
But in this case, I recommend that you ask your friend to do this with you watching him how to do).
Let us know how things turn out, please
