Wubi + Ubuntu 8.04
« on: March 21, 2008, 02:24:10 PM »
"Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 beta has been released. It features GNOME 2.22 and uses Linux kernel 2.6.24. Furthermore, it uses Firefox 3 beta 4, and PulseAudio is enabled by default. To ease the transition of Windows users, it includes Wubi, which allows users to install and uninstall Ubuntu like any other Windows application. It does not require a dedicated partition, nor does it affect the existing bootloader, yet users can experience a dual-boot setup almost identical to a full installation."

Thats quite interesting. I was thinking of running Linux again, I may look into this when the stable release comes out.  Anyone ever use Wubi?

I just caught that today too. I'm thinking about maybe trying to do that for my dad. You can use it with the current stable Ubuntu too.
If only I could get his stupid dongle to work in Linux (or finish his software I'm making for him) then I wouldn't have to muck with this crap.
