i didn't really read the whole topic, but seriously, it is awesome. The only reason I can't use it on my computer anymore is because the drivers on my Dell Latitude aren't compatible =(

You dont install Ubuntu next to windows, you partition your hard drive to hold a linux distro so for example you would have one partition for windows, then an ubuntu root partition and a swap partition.

It would be impossible to install linux onto Windows C:\ as Windows uses NTFS and Ubuntu uses Ext3 file systems.

Learn about [Wubi](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wubi_%28Ubuntu_installer%29), but I don't think they have that for ArchLinux, so yea.

**Addendum**: you know Ubuntu has NTFS drivers that are capable of both reading and writing, right? So using Ubuntu from a NTFS-partition could work. Plus, Ubuntu also supports Ext4.

I'm aware of partitions. when I said "next to windows", I meant on a second partition on th C:\ drive.

I have stopped using Ubuntu now. It's just a lot easier to use Windows. I don't mind it being slower.

Either way you're doing it wrong.

Which makes this topic *ding* entirely pointless.

lolwut?
After breaking into ubuntu, I've been using it for quite a long time now, andit's easier to use than Windows, for me.  Like, I actually find it an inconvenience when I need to use windows XD

But to each their own, I guess :huh:
