I am new to using linux. I have not installed on my laptop yet and am a little nervous about doing so. I have windows vista (before you say it i actually like vista) I have many questions and would like the opportunity to bounce some ideas off someone. Feel free to contact me at the email i provided. Thanks

@Urko: Cool, just read up on it:

Wubi installs into a filesystem inside one big file in the Windows filesystem.

It is slightly slower than the normal setup, but in most cases should not be noticeable.

That’s how they achieve the easy, risk-free installation and uninstallation. Wubi doesn’t change anything of the partitions on the hard disk. Uninstalling is just a matter of deleting the big file and the entry in the Windows menu.

@Peter: I agree with Wubi but again, it creates a separate partition so it should not be affected by Windows. That is my understanding.

I will email you when I get home later. Nice to see other FOSS teachers.
