[dba-Tech] Running Linux off your desktop,

Has anyone heard of this application?

"Wubi is actually an application that allows Ubuntu to be installed from
within Windows - an alternative to running a virtual machine or running from
a Live CD version.

The application they developed, known as Wubi, is an Unbuntu Linux installer
that runs inside Windows and looks to Windows like just another application.
Most of the files Wubi uses to load and run Ubuntu Linux reside in a single
folder; the installer does not modify a system's disk partitions,
bootloader, or any other vitals; and the whole affair uninstalls just as
quickly and painlessly. (bmighty.com)"

Seems real easy: http://wubi-installer.org/faq.php and
