Running Ubuntu inside Win-XP

Posted on May 4, 2009, 4:50 pm, by Mayank Jain (makuchaku).

I’m nothing short of saying – “Holy cows”!!

Check this why…

If you noticed, thats Ubuntu 8.04 – Hardy Heron running on top of my Windows XP!!! Click on the image to see a bigger screenshot.

All thanks to Ubuntu Portable

So what does this means now?

  • I get to use apt-get and install a zillion other things for which I keep on requiring a shell access
  • I am no more dependent on Services For Unix
  • Use my mods to stay on top of the network
  • Have fun! Yay!!

The apps running inside Ubuntu Portable actually felt more faster than how they ran on my Windows box. I wonder, how Netbeans & Firefox (my major memory consumers) would work in such a setup… I am yet to configure the connectivity though…

This is some serious fun now!!! Trust me when I say that…

I’m darn sure, Sandy would love to see this! I just can’t wait to show this to him tonight :)
