Has anyone used Wubi to install Ubuntu 8.x?

Nope. Not tried Wubi, though the idea seems good.
Looks just like a VMware image mind. Thus I'd either dual boot properly, use a Vmware image or use just Ubuntu
I downloaded the latest Hardy Heron build last night, burnt the ISO to a CD, took the CD out and put it back in... to be presented with an 'Install Inside of Windows' option.
Bish, bash, bosh, 5 minutes later and 2 reboots I have a dual-boot system with a virtual partition of 30gb for Ubuntu! And as an added bonus, all my hardware is supported and I can open all my iTunes music & personal documents.
Talk about seamless transition!
As a side-note, I keep my mail & browser files (Firefox & Thunderbird) in a separate partition from Windows and Linux. If you do that you can access your mail and use the same settings and fav's from both Windows & Linux (with out having the 2 mess with each other).
In Gnome you should use the "File Browser".
You should find it here:
Applications > System Tools > File Browser
You can right-click on it and select "Add this launcher to desktop"
or if you like the command line you can launch it with the "browser" flag like so
Both the short-cut and the command above should open the nautilus in file browser mode, with the file tree pane on the left and should open the folders you select in the same window.Code:# nautilus --browser
