I'm going to give the WUBI a go and see how it goes.




An issue that some folks encounter with Ubuntu is choosing the right version for their purposes. Generally, it is best for a user with limited Linux skills to choose an older release that has been thoroughly equipped with all the software you need to comfortably get the job done. (Newer versions tend to have a lot of bells and whistles which can unnecessarily complicate the process for an inexperienced user.) Select one of their LTS (long term support) versions - I think version 10.04 is their most recent LTS release.
