If you want to proclaim your independence from MS something a little more authoritative would be better.

?? What could possibly be more authoritative than a site offering a free alternative to try?

Has it ocurred to anyone that possibly MS has declared ITS independence from, or contempt for, many of its loyal users?

In a few minutes I will be test driving Debian Linux, to compare it to Red Hat and SuSE on the other "converted" machines.

Three down, five to go.

OH....Ubuntu....I always have trouble with that one....

wiki.ubuntu.com/install.

Summary

The installation of Ubuntu is a major barrier to its spread and use. This project aims to solve this problem by allowing installation from within Windows using an install.exe file, and eliminating the need to partition the hard drive or burn a CD to install. It will allow a faster and more user-friendly installation for Windows users, the ability to install without the risk of data loss through repartitioning, and the ability to install on ultra-portable laptops without CD drives.
