Today I was slacking off in class. I decided to check out
Download Squad and I came across an interesting app; it is called Wubi.

QuoteI'd wager that there are a huge number of Windows users who would probably be quite happy with Ubuntu Linux as their day-in day-out OS of choice. If only there were an easy way to try Ubuntu out on your windows machine without breaking anything, repartitioning or dealing with the diminished performance of a Live CD.
You're in luck. Wubi takes the hassle out of installing Ubuntu on a loopback file system located on your Windows partition, while making it bootable just like a real-deal Ubuntu install. In fact, it _is_ a real-deal Ubuntu install, albeit in a slightly unconventional manner. If you go glassy eyed at the word "loopback", don't worry.. it's just a fancy way of saying that your whole Ubuntu install is self-contained and stored in a single large file on your Windows drive.

I will probably try this.

Yeah. I will probably use this until I can install an actual partition for Ubuntu.
If only it supported Macs...

How did I do that?
I meant it was a waste of time making it compatible for macs, as not many people use them.

Not as many people use Zunes as iPods. OF FUCK, TOSS OUT YOUR ZUNE, NOW. IT'S A MASSIVE WASTE.
Why would someonw with a perfect OS need Linux? yeah.

It depends on how big you make it.
I'm used to having it booted off of separately, but I'll try this out and let you guys know how it goes.

It depends how you read it. If you're such a Mac-Nazi then of course you'd think that that's what he was implying, but judging by the choice of emote and by knowing Milad I can conclude he's saying that it would be a waste of time to make software for a Mac. Even though many people use Macs and almost everything these days are released on Macs and PC's, that's what he's saying.
sounds kinda like that one program that starts with V that i forgot the name of. I use a live cd on my old pc since the HDD is busted.
bump lol
