Easy ubuntu install

Interested in linux, have a rather slow connection and don't want to risk losing data? Wubi is just the tool for you. Grab a copy at wubi-installer.org, run the program, choose your username and password and it will automatically download the alternate Ubuntu ISO and install on a virtual partition!

WARNING: If you have Vista, Wubi will corrupt your bootloader and basically require you to at least fixmbr. It's for Windows XP only!
