Easy Linux Install From Windows

Today I used WUBI to install the Ubuntu Linux onto my work machine.  WUBI runs from INSIDE Windows itself, and easily installs the OS and includes a boot-menu that allows you to choose which OS you want to use.  If you decide you don't like it, uninstall it like you would with any other Windows Program. I decided to install it for the better performance, virus immunity (at least from Windows based viruses, which are 99% of them), and ability to more easily recover data from dying hard drives. I also installed WINE which allows me to run some Windows programs from within Linux, so that I can have those must-have programs. All-in-all so far, working very well.

Viruses and Spyware can become a pain on many computers.  Many viruses are difficult to remove while actually inside of Windows using your normal Anti-Virus. In steps the Dr Web  LiveCD.  It's a linux BootCD that will boot and run an antivirus program off a CD without loading Windows. Simply download the CD Image from http://www.freedrweb.com/livecd Then use the burn image function of your CD burning software or (preferred method) by using IMGBurn Once the CD is created, simply boot your computer off the CD and click Start on the scanner. This is a VERY effective anti-virus and requires very little computer knowledge.
