I'm actually going to be giving out a load of Ubuntu/Kubuntu CDs at the fun day on Saturday. If I get time I'll put it in there. I'm sure I read actually on the Wubi web site that it may be integrated into the next release of Ubuntu which would be good. Even better I think would be a version of Wubi that re-sizes partitions like the Ubuntu installer. That would certainly make it easier for newbies to install (rather than having to explain about changing BIOS settings).
