For all comments I see here, it looks quit clear that wubi is a good tool for previewing Ubuntu within Windows but certainly not stable/mature enough to run Ubuntu in production mode.
As for me, I ran into trouble with Ubi every time I installed updates, same troubles as those here above. My Ubuntu crashed down 30 minutes ago, all in a sudden while I was simply browsing internet using Seamonkey. I did not perform any updates right before. The whole system freezed. I had to reboot manually my laptop. When I restarted and selected Ubuntu in the boot menu, I saw the message "no wubimbr"... it is displayed a fraction of second, so not totally sure to reproduce the exact wording... anyway, right after this message is displayed, I face a wonderful shell prompt... So to me it is clear: WELCOME Ubuntu, BYE BYE Wubi. -- Wubi/Karmic boot: kernel panic - not synching: VFS https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477169 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
