Installing Ubuntu on Windows without partitioning
Apr 4th
You can install and run Ubuntu from within Windows without any risk of accidentally deleting your existing programs and files by using Wubi, an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users. Unlike UNetbootin, which installs Linux on a hard disk partition, Wubi works by installing Ubuntu within a file stored on your Windows drive, and adding itself to the Windows boot.ini file to allow you to choose between Windows and Linux at boot time.
Wubi is based on Ubuntu 8.04 Long Term Support (LTS), which was released in April 2008. Both Wubi and Ubuntu 8.04 are available now in stable beta versions.
