Dual boot question

[dennis@home]

Thanks for the reply
does wubi installer actually install a full version of ubuntu? it
sounds
too easy to be true

Yes it does, but it doesn't run as efficiently as running it from it's
own
partition,

Why?

1) Fragmenatation issues under any "windows" file system can give
major performance issues.

Well if the ubuntu file is fragmented when its created you may be right,
however it doesn't really use the windows file system but a virtual file
system within the file while running, any fragmentation would be as a
result of linux not windows.
No updates are made to the /windows/ file system at all while running the
ubuntu bit only to the file

Wrong, `tard, the Ubuntu "file" as you call it is on the Windows file
system, and as the files grow, fragmentation will occur, as that is the
nature of the NTFS system. It doesn't matter what Ubuntu does - it

Like I said you don't have a clue.
The linux file system is inside the windows file and is accessed using linux
drivers.
There is no more fragmentation than with any other linux file system.

3) Loss of power will make data loss likely as it is a "simulated file
system"

<snip>

I think you mean it may corrupt the file system so it won't work.
linux file system.

What the hell are you talking about? "Crap driver for the Linux file
system"? Do you have any idea what you are going on about?

You certainly don't.

4) Sluggish operation under limited memory and when /swap is being
used frequently.

True of all systems and nothing to do with the fact its installed using
wubi.

Except that the /swap in running on top of an NTFS filesystem, idiot.

Go on "Den". Do your best to shoot that down.
;-)

See above ;-)

You failed again, miserably, at understanding basic concepts.

You have just proven that you don't.

Yeah right, dipshit. Go back to your hole in the ground.
