Hi all;
I am part of the MS Windows XP diaspora, i see the end coming and
am looking for alternative Operating Systems. At present I run MS
Windows XP and sure like it but I am feeling it will not be a secure
OS in a few months. I tried to download the Linux "application-OS"
named Wubi. FYI, it purports to be the entire Ubuntu OS confiigured
as an application and it supports MS Windows XP, purportedly. So why
the caveats and purportedlies?
When I downloaded Wubi, first it took FOREVER, about nine hours
to download, although, thank God, it was not a heavy application and I
could use another tab to surf the web at the same time.
Second, I never got it to work. When i rebooted, yes, I got the
opportunity to go into Ubunbtu, but there was some message (sorry,
fool-me, I did NOT jot it down) about RAD drivers being missing.
Conclusion: can someone show me a tutorial to get Wubi up and
running, so i can see whether Ubuntu is for me. You know, I want to
see if it is comfortable for me.
ALSO: important: if someone can show me a form of Linux which
"feels" like Windows a little, so i am not too stressed to use it, i
would like a little advice-education.
Do you understand? I want a tutorial for Wubi and advice on the
most Windows-like Linux.
Thank you for patiently bearing with me and Very Best!
