Wubi Installer (Windows-based Ubuntu Installer) Training - Download, Install Ubuntu Linux in Windows

A quick and relatively easy method of getting Ubuntu Linux - if you already have a Windows system and you want to run Ubuntu Linux on it - is to download Ubuntu and install it by using the Wubi (the Windows-based Ubuntu Installer) from this Ubuntu web site:

http://wubi-installer.org

You can use the Wubi (Windows-based Ubuntu Installer) to download and install Ubuntu Linux in Windows and this is very similar to installing any software program in Windows.

One of the great benefits of using the "Wubi Installer" is that you can also uninstall Ubuntu Linux from

Windows if you need to (in the same way as you uninstall any Windows program).

When you use the "Wubi Installer", you DON'T have to do the following steps (that you would "typically" need to do) to install the Desktop version of Ubuntu Linux on an existing Windows system:

download a Linux ISO file

burn the Linux ISO file to a Linux CD

set up your computer to boot from CD

boot with the Linux CD to run Linux "Live" and get to the GNOME desktop

double-click on the "Install" icon to start the installation routine

run the Ubuntu Linux installation routine

Ubuntu Linux Training Tips: The Wubi Installer is only used to install the Desktop (not Server) Edition of Ubuntu Linux on an existing Windows system - and not on a new or used computer system that doesn't have Windows already installed on it.

All of the "download, burn, setup, and so on" steps listed above will be described shortly in upcoming sections. The Ubuntu Linux installation steps described above are required to install the Desktop and Server Editions (versions) of Ubuntu Linux - either on a computer system that has Windows (to create a Dual-Boot Windows / Linux system) or one that doesn't have Windows

Ubuntu Linux Training Tips: Keep in mind that prior to installing Ubuntu Linux (or any Linux distro) on an existing Windows system, you need to do a complete backup of your Windows system - twice!

Also make sure that you can use the backups that you have created to restore your Windows system from backup.
