[ubuntu-in] Fwd: Warning with Ubuntu crap

[nilesh trivedi]

If you have even a modestly recent machine, I recommend going for a single
ubuntu installation and running Windows under VirtualBox. Beats restarting
the machine to get into windows again and again and also sidesteps the
partitioning issues. There is almost no loss of performance for typical
productivity apps.
