While I'm not quite sure about Wubi specifically–I have never personally gotten the installer to not crash–I think that virtualization in general would probably be a good idea first. :)

Also good point about not removing Windows immediately. Setting up a dual-boot, even if the user plans on never using Windows again if things go well, is probably most advisable–like you suggest.

I'd tell them about the Wubi function on some distro's like Ubuntu that allows you to install it like any other program inside of Windows. <br><br>Also tell them not to remove Windows from the start, so that they can move over to Linux slowly. If a newbie wipes everything and completely moves over to Linux from the start, it might frighten them so much that they move back to Windows and never come back. Great post.
