WUBI

What’s a WUBI? Good question. It’s a Windows-based installer for Ubuntu Linux. Download it, run it, click the Next button a few times, and suddenly you have a Linux installation — without running the risk of hosing your Windows setup. Ubuntu gets set up in two virtual filesystems stored as regular (if large) files on a Windows partition of your choice (they can go in an \Ubuntu folder in the C: drive, for example.)
It’s a painless, easy way to check out Linux or to set up a dual-boot system without causing a bunch of headaches. Go try it out!
