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

Thu Apr 4 15:52:57 UTC 2013

When I sent a request in to have Ubuntu Studio added to Wubi, I was told
that WUBI is ONLY a development tool and not meant to be used to dual boot
with Windows.  In fact, if you were to delete Windows, you would lose
Ubuntu at the same time since it's on the Windows Partition...

I ran the Install for Ubuntu Studio over Win7 and had NO issues what so
ever...
