Ok, I've got the Ubuntu installer and I'm confused as to what it does, does it install an ISO that I can burn to a disk or does it install ubuntu?
KoopaScooper:
Any reason why I mount any of my FAT formatted volumes in Windows that it corrupts itself? I'm sick of seeing these kernel messages in Linux when I'm transferring files to and from a Windows OS

It just installs Ubuntu. Not sure how, as I have never used Wubi (nor would I recommend it, GRUB is a much better bootloader anyways.)
If you want the ISO, you have to download it from the Ubuntu website.

ER, does the installer let me run it along side windows, let me allocate as much space or try it?

It runs it alongside Windows as a boot option. It probably would either give you an option to let it allocate as much as it wants or to allocate as much as you want. It won't let you try it, as Wubi is an installer, not a Live environment. The ISO is what you need if you wish to try before you install.

how do I convince my mom for me to upgrade her 2004 desktop that hasn't been upgraded. it currently has 2GB RAM, a 256MB Radeon card from 2004, and using a reeeealllyyy low RPM hard drive. I wanted to put in a new HDD, a slightly better GPU, and more memory
