I prefer Knoppix myself. |

xXSomeGuyXx -- this is what ubuntu can look like: |
|
That looks awesome! How much quicker is it than using Vista? |
|
It's fast. My laptop has it installed and it can do most of that stuff, whereas it can't even run Aero in Vista. |
|

Yes, |

Yeah I have that somewhere as upgraded to Vista from an original disk |
|
I did a screenshot tutorial a lttle while ago, for dual booting with Windows |

You don't even need to dual boot. |
|
never used Wubi |

I've never used it either, and I know nothing about it other than its purpose. |
|
From what I've heard, runs slower and such. I know it has a bunch more disadvantages, but I don't know them off the top of my head. |
|
I am sure Wubi does perform slower than native speed and it might very well underperform a virtual machine, but it sounds like a convenient option for a possible Windows convert to test Ubuntu before committing. Another option would be to download free virtualization software like VirtualBox or QEMU with the kqemu accelerator module. |
|
Or just mount the iso to a CD and put it in your computer. You don't have to install nor uninstall anything and you can test it just the same. The LiveCD, that is. |
|
yeah, just hit f5[fairly sure..] when the boot up screen comes and choose Ubuntu Linux. It's only 698 MB, you can even use a CD to burn it onto. |
|
somethings fishy, that's for sure. |
|
Linux won't touch your windows install at all |
