Install on a "blank desktop" should be the same as any other Fedora
install, except that you won't have to perform any steps to create
space on the disk for the install.
Download the install media, write to USB flash drive (or burn to
DVD-R, etc), then boot the desktop off of the install media and follow
the instructions.
You will have to decide which install media to use - i.e. you can
download and use one of the "live" spins, and then install from that,
or if you want more control you can download the "server" install
meda, which despite the name, can be used to install a desktop (it is
how I do it). If you choose to go the "server" route, I usually
recommend the "netinstall" version as it is smaller and will download
the desired packages "on the fly" - but as you are using dial-up, you
might be better off just downloading the full install DVD (especially
if you can download it some other way besides dial-up).
I can't help with the dual-boot, but if it is a reasonably modern CPU
with hardware virtualization it might be easier to run Ubuntu (or any
other OS) in a virtual machine and avoid dual-boot altogether.
