When installing Ubuntu from a LiveCD on a Windows system, the following options are available:




  • Install Ubuntu alongside Windows XP/Vista/7/8

  • Replace Windows with Ubuntu

  • Other



Is "Install Ubuntu alongside Windows" the same as Wubi or is it a real dual boot?



EDIT: I seem to have caused some confusion, I am not asking what the difference is between a Wubi install and a regular dual-boot install, I am asking if the "Install Ubuntu alongside Windows" option creates a Wubi install or a regular dual-boot one.

It is a real dual boot ;) you need to free up a partition and if you want to use swap, then you need to create a swap partition too ;)
