I am right now installing ubuntu using wubi.
I have downloaded wubi, started installtion,
it took 50 minutes to download ubuntu @200KiB/Sec.
And now it is taking another 50 minutes checking installation files (I guess
it is verifying the download arrgg)

how to disable the download verification???

I've just installed Ubuntu via wubi to my laptop. Download took not long
(although I had previously downloaded the os iso) and installation well less
than an hour. I now have a fully functional Ubuntu that runs at a pretty fair
lick. I'm impressed, this is a nice and easy way to run a trial.

If things work out I will eventually dump Vista and turn the entire laptop
over to Ubuntu (or Kubuntu). I may well run XP in a vm within U/Kubuntu but
that remains to be seen.
