Wubi (2008-2012) - a tool that installs Ubuntu from inside Windows

@256 i used wubi a couple of times! I don't need it anymore after ditching windows right about 2012,but it's weird it'd be considered deprecated since it seems so practical...

@mmcm @256 - Where can I get this (I'm considering trying it)

- Deprecated in what sense? (probably according to makers but maybe you meant there is better?)

@freeschool @256 I don't think you can still get it, or rather, I don't think the last release will still work as intended, given that it is 13 years old. They seem to have stopped developing it, but like I said, I found it very clever and useful at the time since it made installing Ubuntu much less scary. I have no idea if something similar exists today though. *sigh*

Must be something around :¬)

One of the reasons I haven't done something about older machines is because they need a CD or USB to install which takes ages or material to install on older systems... but from inside is genius... Maybe I missed something here about that... seems genius...
