Wubi - Linux Installer For Windows

[DLow]

Alright so i came across this awesum program

Ever been curious about toying around with Linux ?

Well its never been more simple.

Wubi is an officially supported Ubuntu installer for Windows users that can bring you to the Linux world with a single click. Wubi allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu as any other Windows application, in a simple and safe way.

• No need to burn a CD. Just run the installer, enter a password for the new account, and click "Install", go grab a coffee, and when you are back, Ubuntu will be ready for you.
• You keep Windows as it is, Wubi only adds an extra option to boot into Ubuntu. Wubi does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, or to use a different bootloader, and does not install special drivers. It works just like any other application. Wubi is free of spyware and malware, and being open source, anyone can verify that.
• Wubi keeps most of the files in one folder, and if you do not like it, you can simply uninstall it as any other application.

• Wubi and Ubuntu cost absolutely nothing (free as in beer), but yet provide a state of the art, fully functional, operating system that does not require any activation and does not impose any restriction on its use (free as in freedom).

I did actually try this out once and it is a really great way of introducing new users to linux it gives them a sense of whats to loose if i can go go to uninstaller and uninstall it

Its not the preferred way and dont think its suppose to be permanent

Try to avoid this..instead install from iso, because it still runs on top of NTFS..
use it ,if you are new to linux..
