Q. I have installed window 7 in my PC and I want to install linux ubuntu also.I saw a tutorial with a virtual machine way .I want to know if other way is possible and ,how it make.
A. Virtual Machines are inherently slow in comparison to a Hard Drive installation however you can use the windows installer on Ubuntu to Dual Boot without committing yourself
Installing Ubuntu as a dual-boot with Windows without partitioning

Download Ubuntu Desktop Edition

Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) User Guide
http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Maverick
I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 9 Main Edition which is built upon Ubuntu 10.04 Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled
Linux Mint has a similar installer called mint4win (mint4win works the same as Wubi so the instructions outlined above are almost identical)
You keep Windows as it is, mint4win only adds an extra option to boot into Linux Mint. mint4win does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, or to use a different bootloader, and does not install special drivers. It works just like any other application.
mint4win keeps most of the files in one folder, and if you do not like it, you can simply uninstall it as any other application.
Boot in to windows insert the Linux Mint LiveCD and you will offered the option of installing inside windows which is where the mint4win installer comes in, you will be asked how many gigabytes you wish to allocate to Linux Mint (I recommend 8gb) then you set a password for your installation then click install and thats it.
Once Linux Mint is fully installed upon starting your PC you will be given a choice of which operating system you want to use Windows or Linux Mint

You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint 9 or Linux Mint 10 then you need to create a Bootable LiveCD for installation
Linux Mint 9 and Linux Mint 10 and can also be run direct from the LiveCD from Boot without touching your Hard Drive

A. I recommend VirtualBox http://www.virtualbox.org/ I have used it to test countless Linux distros.
Alternatively you can run off a LiveCD. You download an ISO of the distro. and create a bootable disc using Nero Burning ROM or similar software.
Once you have done that you can Linux LIVE without touching your Hard Drive and performance would be improved to that of a Virtual installation.
I recommend Linux Mint 4.0 (Daryna) http://www.linuxmint.com/rel_daryna.php which is superior to raw Ubuntu and easy to install and use http://www.howtoforge.com/desktop-installation-guide-linux-mint-4.0-daryna This is an installation guide but it also gives a detailed summary of the contents of Linux Mint and may come in useful should you decide to install it on VirtualBox.

Is it possible to run a real computer, (on an external drive, or another partition) inside a virtual machine?
Q. I am somewhat experienced with computers and used virtual machines on a range of OS's (host and virtual).
I am currently dual-booting Linux(Debian-based) and Windows(vista).
My question really is: Can i use my windows inside a virtual machine on my Linux, or my Linux inside a virtual machine on my Windows?
Any reply is appreciated!

A. If you're experienced with virtual machines and have done it before... why are you asking?
Anyway, go to http://www.vmware.com/ and download the free one. You can also (if this is what you're asking) connect to an already existing hard drive, partition, etc., and boot the OS that way. Works A LOT better with the already-existing Linux hard drive than vice-versa.
It is Linux, Windows, etc., compatible as both a host and a guest OS.
