Ubuntu-us-md Digest, Vol 100, Issue 1

Thu Apr 4 15:30:35 UTC 2013

Hi - I never used WUBI or even considered it.  I've had good luck
installing Ubuntu (12.10 and slightly older releases) in dual boot setup
along Win 7 on Asus laptop.  Of course, all of my data is backed up before
doing any OS installation.
