Wubi
Can someone tell me more about Wubi? I actually thought about it again due to a recent post by wdhpr.
I've been using Peppermint and Mint (dual-booted) on an old "throwaway" laptop for 6-9 months. (It sits on my dining room table and I use it when I want to look something up quickly or I want to check Gizmo's or my email while I'm eating.) However, my primary PC is a Windows 7 (64 bit) desktop that I'm very leary about messing up. I really don't want to dual-boot my main/primary PC, but I do like to "play around" with Linux some. Can you tell me the pro's and con's of using Wubi? Should I have any concerns with using it on Windows 7 (64 bit) systems? Is it easy to install and uninstall? Thank you.

Here are some details about Wubi, with installations, un-installations and limitations stated. Mint 11 CD has mint4win which I think should work the same if not mistaken.

I went to an Ubuntu dual boot with Vista having tried both Wubi & Mint4Win. Both of which installed/uninstalled flawlessley on my Dell laptop.
I found this guide useful: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide Hope it helps? Richard Last edited by 1002richards; 15. Aug 2011 at 03:45 PM. Reason: Spelling. |
