Wubi is an unofficial Windows-based free software installer for Ubuntu licensed under the GNU GPL. The goal of the project is to assist a Windows user unacquainted with Linux in trying Ubuntu without risking any loss of information due to disk formatting or partitioning. Wubi can also uninstall Ubuntu from within Windows. The project is currently in beta.
At this time, Wubi cannot install Ubuntu to its own partition, and it cannot use free hard disk space to install it. [1]
The main developers of Wubi are Geza Kovacs [2], known as tuxcantfly on the forums, who started the project, [3] created the initial versions, and wrote the specifications [4], Agostino Russo [5], known as ago on the forums, who contributes to lupin (the loop-installer), Oliver Mattos [6], known as Hello1024 on the forums, and one known as Ecology2007 [7] who contribute to the windows-based frontend (wubi). The main development occurs at launchpad, and is lead by the Lupin Team [8].
