Wubi or Live CD for Linux

yea anyone if their screen starts turning blue and red and says incompatible with the video card. and they don’t really know how to fix it. I pity that kid lol.

I don’t think he meant it to be insulting. whoever who voted that comment. it does sound like a pet store name. which is not bad.

wubi has been in beta for 37 years

wubi installs ubuntu 7.04 which has many graphics errors that are fixed in 7.10

I lol’d

Wubi seems like an interesting idea. Sounds a lot like CoLinux, though, so I wonder where they’re trying to set up a market.

I agree, though. The best way to experience Linux is to run it native (either installed or via a LiveCD). You’ll never really appreciate a Linux distribution when it’s hindered by a bunch of other **** running on the system.

There is no problem using vista and linux, my computer is running vista and it has ran wubi fine, its ran live cds fine, and it is now running a fully installed version of ubuntu on it. I would say use a Live CD over wubi to start, but i’d say use wubi before total install, live cd has that dis advantage of being able to install and keep them installed for next time you want to use live cd again. Ive been using wubi for like a week now without going on vista for all my basic needs :)

I tried Wubi like 2 weeks ago, and it didn’t work.

I also lol’d

yah but gotta wait for it 4 weeks…

NEVER use wubi omfg i hated linux at first because that crappy beta sutff,If you dont have a blank cd order one dont use wubi,if you dont know how to boot from cd then you should not be using linux,or “google it”

Just installed Ubuntu myself and would definitely use the Live CD. It also gives you something to boot from if everything on the system goes haywire.

on a vurtual pc or what? omg never install ubuntu or wubi or something linix related!!! WARNING!!!!!! !!! !!!! !!!! ESPECIALLY NOT VISTA EVEN THOW IT SUCKS!!!

Wubi works fine with Vista, I installed Kubuntu with no problem. In most cases, I prefer it to a live CD, as it boots and runs a lot faster and does nothing irreversible to the disk. it creates a virtual partition which can be reversed by merely running Wubi a second time.

Don’t listen to that guy. Linux is fine as long as you’re not an idiot.

Yeah i also agree that using a Live CD is probobly a better idea.I tried installing Linux using Wubi and one more software that i cant remember,but the installation was never completed and i kept running into errors.But with the Live CD,everything went well,and I;m really happy that i got to experience Linux.

The current Ubuntu Live CD doesn’t have the current build of ALSA with it. Anyone knows how to update the Live CD?

I like Mac, Linux, & Mac they are all great OSs!

I am not sure if wubi is disined for vista but it dose worke with or so it says on download.com

Same

Can you get arrested for “touching” a hard drive?

no…

Dude, Ik, he’s like an eight year old. He’s trying to sound really cool, but in reality he’s really not that smart at all. “Duz it work on a 32 bit?” It’s like wtf? What DOESN’T run on an Intel x86? That’s the first thing most OS’s are targeted for. The kid has a big lisp too. Woobi? “I downloaded it to my computer”. What is that? “The graphics card was like incompatible or something like that.” “What I could like do to make it work”? Seriously, this kid needs help. But he trys hard

yeah hes not eight hes like 13 and so am i and i have been using linux for like 4 years

Yes wubi is vista compatible.

i have wubi on vista and i like it better than the live cd

yes…

i personally dont see any problems with wubi and apparently nor does Canonical which is the company branch behind Ubuntu. As they are looking to incorporate it in the up coming 8.04 release

not necessarily, i’ve had them come in less than a week, it depends how many orders they have queued up at the time, and you can’t really complain about the timing when you get the disks for free! (or at least used to be able to…) ^_^

wubi does work on vista, i have it and forums say it works, it may not of been when that kid used

shut the **** up, if i see you id knock you into next week. He phoned up for some advice because he wants to enter the world of linux, BIG WOW. hes not trying to sound cool, because it does actualy say [i think on wubi website] that its for 64bit but you can *force* it to go on32bit. so he was right to ask their.
thanks, all i gotta say

that comment goes to buhmanator

thinking of installing ubuntu, i just got in the mail today a copy of ubunutu 8.04LTS 64bit. i have vista ultimate 64 bit. if you go to the wubi page, it does says under requirements “vista”. i was thinking of using wubi just because i dont want ubuntu to load first after i install with dual boot. last time i did that and tried to reconfig the boot loader to load windows first it didnt work. hopefully with wubi i can install ubuntu and not change the boot sequence. anyone know if wubi needs CD

excuse me, but is wubi as slow as the live cd?? i mean.. how fast it is???

I was curious about Linux and Ubuntu. Read the heading ‘Wubi is Simple’ ‘Never been Easier’ so thought I would give Wubi a try before progressing to Ubuntu.

Not easy for me I’m afraid, can’t get the ‘Never been Easier’ Wabi to install, ZoneAlarm pops up and interrupts the process and refuses to continue, dare say if I shut down ZoneAlarm or messed about with its settings I would be able to continue - but I can’t be bothered ! ! !
