Re: Impressions of Ubuntu 10.x

I usually suggest to install it as a windows application first,
especially on the old hardware.
A student would need to run wubi.exe from cd/usb under windows, click
on "install as app".
It would install on c:/ubuntu and create a link in boot.ini.
This is really friendly ;-)
