With Ubuntu’s Netbook Remix you can install and remove Ubuntu from Windows, just like any other software application.

Over at How-To Geek’s, Matthew details the simple process of installing Ubuntu. No need to burn a CD. Just launch the installer, select “Ubuntu Netbook” enter a password for the new account, and click “Install”, go grab some java and when you return, Ubuntu will be ready to rock. We have discussed several methods  previously about installing Linux (10 easy ways to try Linux without leaving Windows).

Matthew is kind enough to spell out how to make your Windows files and folders easily reachable from the Ubuntu desktop, he also breaks down a more advanced Windows/Ubuntu boot option. Finally, he gives a helpful and basic tour of Ubuntu. This is no doubt an easy way to check out Ubuntu on a netbook.
