About this trail:
I used Wubi to install Ubuntu Linux on a Dell Inspiron 600m laptop. It worked like a charm. All you have to do is download the installer and run it, then follow the setup wizard, and presto, you now have Ubuntu Linux dual-booting with Win Xp. If you have been wanting to try Linux, but hesitating because of the setup hassle, this is your best option. And you don't have to give up your Windows install either!
