Vista users, you got to at least try ubuntu

Vista users, you got to at least try ubuntu (if you are a bit geek at
least).

Why do this? Well if you have a little spirit of adventure and want to learn
new stuff go for it.

here is how you can do it without a problem at all

download the virtual appliance from here and the vmware player
and use ubuntu in the virtual machine.... to start learning about it.

Note you would need more than 1 gig of ram and a dual core cpu for better
results

on this machine, a 4 core, 4 gig ram one the virtual machine goes incredibly
fast!

I tried to try it, but it just won't install in Virtual PC.

I've been running various OS's using VirtualBox on a 1.5ghz VIA C7 machine
with 2gb ram - everything works quite nicely.

I also could not get 8.04 to install in virtual pc 2007 on vista home
premium, getting the error "an unrecoverable processor error has been
encountered. The virtual machine will now reset." Found one suggestion
to use the "alternate" .iso, which also threw up the same error. An mvp
has previously reported in another thread about an installation failure,
but with a different error. I finally successfully used the innotek
virtualbox for the installation. It might be worth your effort to give
it a try. http://www.virtualbox.org/
Good luck.

As an alternative, which I have also tried successfully, is that you can
install 8.04 within vista using the wubi installer. The install is done
to a folder in vista and is totally removable via add/remove programs.
The wubi installer adds an ubuntu boot choice to the vista boot menu,
and that choice will disappear when ubuntu is uninstalled from vista. It
works as a dual boot, but does not require any knowledge or skill in
setting up a partition or other issues found when dealing with
traditional dual boot scenarios. And finally, one can always install it
on a stand-alone machine (which I also have done) if one is available
that meets the minimum install standards. Good luck.

Try http://www.virtualbox.org/ - runs on Vista, Linux, XP and others.
Does not screw up if you run Linux. If using Vista, make sure to bridge
the network devices. Even runs Solaris 10i nicely.

You can also consider dual boot. The Ubuntu bootloader can fire up Vista.

VirtualBox is good, even in Vista.

that's what I did on one of my computers, not that I don't know how to make
partitions,
but with wubi everything is just far more simple..

you install- uninstall it just like a normal program... no harm done

I have used all the virtual well known, virtual machine (VPC, Vmware,
Virtual Box, Parallels) programs...

the only reason I mentioned my OP is that the virtual machine was already
pre-installed
and you just download it and run it with vmware player..

no need to install ubuntu inside the virtual machine.

Vmware.com calles these pre-installed OS's appliances'

So this is far more simple for people to start using it right away
