Wubi looks like an easy way to try out Ubuntu. But:
1. Any problems or special considerations installing on drive D:?
2. What's the RAM and performance penalty of running Ubuntu under Windows XP versus a native install on a separate partition?
Target system is an old Dell Dimension 4600 PC tower (2.8GHz P4, 1.5GB RAM). I would add a new SATA hard drive (which allegedly is supported by the motherboard).
Is there a free Windows program for partitioning hard drives? (Excuse my ignorance, I'm primarily a Mac user.)
Any other relevant tips? Thanx.
