[Installing Linux from Windows] Wubi Review
,----[ Quote ]
| In conclusion, this tool is certainly one of the easiest ways of letting
| people try Ubuntu without removing Windows or having to partition their hard
| drive for a dual-boot. I have enjoyed this tool, and although it is still in
| beta, it works very well and is very stable. So, if you are running a
| computer with Windows and want to give Ubuntu a try, then this is the
| solution for you.
