Wubi, the Easiest Way to Install Ubuntu?
In a previous post I briefly mentioned my experience of using the "Goodbye Microsoft" installer for Debian. Since then Aaron has kindly pointed me in the direction of Wubi:
Wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users that will bring you into the Linux world with a single click. Wubi allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu as any other application. If you heard about Linux and Ubuntu, if you wanted to try them but you were afraid, this is for you.
The project looks interesting and I'll have to spend some more time looking into it. From what I've read so far it differs to the Debian approach in that it takes care not to modify the users disk partitions — whereas the Debian approach goes for a proper [for lack of a better word] installation.
The Ubuntu wiki page for Wubi can be seen here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/install.exe/Prototype
