How To Install And Run Ubuntu Linux Inside Windows?

[george]

I am looking for a way to run Linux within Windows Vista. The reason is I need to run a software application that just works under Linux, but need Vista as primary O/S.

I found this article:

Have any of you Linux gurus tried this?

The December 2008 edition of APC (Australian Personal Computer) has a very detailed supplement on this very excersize.

Thanks a lot, bdenner. My Ubuntu 8.10 desktop is now up and running. I just followed the instructions, and it was easy.
