→Performing a Clean Ubuntu Linux Installation
A recent development in the world of Ubuntu provides the ability to install and run Ubuntu from within a Windows environment. This is achieved using technology called ''Wubi''. The process involves downloading and running the Wubi installation executable, providing a user name and password for accessing the Ubuntu installation and clicking an ''Install'' button. Once the installation is complete, Ubuntu may be run within Windows much like any other application.
== Running Ubuntu in a Virtual Machine ==
If you need to keep your Windows environment and do not wish to dual boot or use Wubi, Ubuntu may be run within a virtual machine. A number of free virtualization technologies are available for this purpose such as VirtualBox and VMware Server. More on these technologies can be found at:
