Install Linux from Windows at ease
Many of my friends wanted to try Linux on their systems, but they don’t want to mess up with the Redmond giant. If you have some spare hard disk space here is the solution.
Wubi is an officially supported Ubuntu installer for Windows users that can bring you to the Linux world with a single click. It 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", 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 boot loader, and does not install special drivers. It works just like any other application. It is spyware and malware free, and being open source, anyone can verify that.
It keeps most of the files in one folder, and if you do not like it, you can simply uninstall it as any other application.
