Run Wubi from the Ubuntu CD
Ubuntu Linux 10.10 is one of the most popular Windows alternative operating system. It is also very easy and safe to install on a computer which runs on Windows. The Ubuntu Desktop install CD come with WUBI which is the “Windows Ubuntu Installer” which makes it possible for Windows to install Ubuntu just like any other Windows software on your computer.

The advantages of using Wubi to install Ubuntu on your computer is it is simple to use and safer then repartitioning your hard drive or using a secondary hard drive to install Ubuntu 10.10 on to.

Also, if you feel Ubuntu is not for you, you can use add/remove programs in Windows 7 Control Panel to remove Ubuntu like uninstalling other Windows software installed on your computer

Using WUBI to Install and Ubuntu on your computer is a lot easier, faster, and less troublesome then installing and using Ubuntu on a virtual pc software like VMware or Virtaul PC which run slowly on older computers with 1 Ghz CPU and 256MB of RAM when running a modern version of Ubuntu like Ubuntu 10.10. Ubuntu can use all the available CPU, RAM, and video card resources when it is installed via WUBI vs sharing system resources with Windows, Virtual pc software, and other Windows software.

Using Wubi to install Ubuntu on your Windows drive is also better then running Ubuntu from the Ubuntu start up CD or a flash drive. Ubuntu WUBI installs usually start up faster then a CD or flash drive, and Ubuntu save changes to your Ubuntu wubi installed you made like installing new software from Ubuntu software center, or changing the background which is usually lost if you use a livecd of Ubuntu or a start up flash drive pre-loaded with Ubuntu.

The best part of Keepass is it is also password protected or key file protected, so anyone who want to steal your password file needs your master password or key file before they can access all your your passwords and user names.

Keepass is very easy to use, it has a lot of buttons and wizards to help you store and secure your passwords and user names.

Using Keepass to store your password is a lot more safe then using the autofill feature for Web browsers since anyone who can log-in to your Windows account can log into your autofills unless your web browser password protects your user names and password like Orca and Avant Browser.
