Is there a way to find out on which of the listed partitions is my linux distribution installed on?

I installed it with Wubi. Ubuntu is my distribution.

In a terminal, run the command df and look at the output. The column headed "Mounted On" will have a "/" against the partition that holds your root filesystem. This is where your system is installed.
