Installing Ubuntu Linux in Windows by Using the Wubi (Windows-Based Ubuntu Installer) for Linux

If you already have a Windows system and want to quickly and easily install Ubuntu Linux, you can use the Wubi Installer (Windows-based Ubuntu Installer).

When you use the Wubi Installer to install Ubuntu Linux, you get a fully functional Ubuntu Linux system and you DON'T have to do a "typical" installation that modifies your Windows hard disk settings!

Make sure your Windows system meets these minimum System Requirements for using Wubi to Install Ubuntu Linux:

5 GB hard disk space, 256 MB memory, Windows 98, 2000, XP, or Vista

Ubuntu Linux Training Tips: Prior to installing Ubuntu Linux (or any version of Linux) on a Windows system, be sure to

do a complete backup of your entire Windows system - twice! - And also test your backups to make sure that you can restore from them.

Ubuntu Linux Training Tips: Keep in mind that another great way to get Ubuntu Linux running on any system (including a Windows system) - without having to install it - is to use the Ubuntu Linux "live" CD.

However, by default, when you use the Ubuntu Linux "live" CD, you can't save your work, such as folders and data files you've created, or save any changes you've made to the system.
