Re: [orca-list] ubi

[Thomas Ward <thomasward1978 gmail com>]

Hi William,

What Ubi basically does is create a Windows swap file and installs 
Ubuntu into that swap file. The advantage here is it doesn't require 
resizing your Windows partition etc, but it will run slightly slower 
than if Ubuntu was installed to a native partition. However, other than 
the fact it is running in a swap file Ubuntu is basically independent of 
Windows 7. Just let your netbook boot to the Grub boot loader prompt, 
and select Ubuntu from the list and it will boot into Ubuntu.

Cheers!
