Running Ubuntu Linux in Windows XP using VMware


www.pcmech.com – This is a great way to try out a fully installed Linux without having to partition your hard drive or any of that other nasty stuff. Apologies for the clunky parts of this vid. I had to rush it out because I have a DVD I’m working on at the moment.

Entschuldigungen für die klobigen Teile von diesem Vid. Ich musste es eilen, denn ich habe eine DVD ich im Moment arbeite... LINUX, running, Ubuntu, using, VMware, Windows, www.youtube.com,

    @Larmour
    I run Windows XP, and Windows 7 inside Linux, and Linux is running as a Wubi installer… Plus I’m using VirtualBox in Linux that is free… Unlike vmware that cost money…
    and you can just download Linux Mint as a Live CD if you don’t want to install it. but if you have Nvidia than Mint wont work correctly with out installing and the driver… but there are linux out there with Nvidia drivers pre-installed…

    Just install Wubi
    It installs ubuntu like a program and it works just like if you installed it to a partition. If you dont like linux you can unistall it from the add/remove programs in windows

    You don’t have to have vmware. vmware is just a method of installing it without any affect on your machine. (Permanently installing Ubuntu).

    reply to kenjigraphics – I don’t think Microsoft will fix it… They hate Linux, they probably made the fault deliberately.

    i believe once you’re in the virtual machine your mouse and keyboard is locked into it, and to get out, or back to windows XP, press ctrl+alt,

    ithink, im new to this too, but hey, hope its understandable

    yes u can. one advantage of VM is that, you can just delete the system if u screw up.

    ctrl + alt is for mouse escaping. So it is like when your cursor is inside VMWare, it is stuck inside the little window (your guess OS, like ubuntu in this example). If you want to free your cursor back to the host system (windows), you have to press ctrl+alt =)

    When it goes into bootloader, you cant click outside of the bootlader when it first starts, for instance, if your watching this video step by step, you wont be able to click outside the bootloader to watch the video. Its only for a short time until ubuntu boots up then you can go back to watching the video, reading forums or whatever your doing. Hope this helps
