Tech Spotlight: Wubi - Ubuntu on Windows

Overview: Wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users that will bring you into the Linux world with a few clicks. Wubi allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu as any other application.Wubi is a Windows front-end for lupin. Wubi and lupin provide a user friendly installer which allows users to install/uninstall Ubuntu like any other Windows program, without modifying partitions, without replacing the bootloader, and without having to burn a CD. Ubuntu installation is almost identical to a standard dual-boot installation both in terms of behavior and performance.

Wubi is Safe

It does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, or to use a different bootloader.


Wubi is Simple

Just run the installer, no need to burn a CD.


Wubi is Discrete

Wubi keeps most of the files in one folder, and If you do not like, you can simply uninstall it.


Wubi is Free

Wubi (like Ubuntu) is free as in beer and as in freedom. You will get this part later on, the important thing now is that it cost absolutely nothing, it is our gift to you...
