This doesn't apply to people who are starting from scratch or those who
have an unbootable windows machine so if you are trying to keep your
tutorial generic it's not applicable.
That said...
People who want to try linux and are running windows can combine most of
the benefits of "Try It Without Switching" and "Take the Plunge" by
using wubi.
http://wubi-installer.org
From the wubi website:
Wubi is an officially supported Ubuntu installer for Windows users that
can bring you to the Linux world with a single click. Wubi allows you to
install and uninstall Ubuntu as any other Windows application, in a
simple and safe way. Are you curious about Linux and Ubuntu? Trying them
out has never been easier!
I've used this several times now and it works as advertised. No iso
downloading needed, no cd burning required, no bios adjustments needed,
only a little user input needed. The result is a dual boot machine that
lets you boot windows or ubuntu. Additionally, ubuntu can be completely
uninstalled from within windows as if it is a windows app.
Requires minimum of 5gb free disk space.

I recently was asked about installing Linux. The girls asking
are not in Oregon, so I can't do a hands-on install. I looked
around on the web (including euglug.org) and wasn't entirely
satisfied with what I found for tutorials. So I started a new
one. I am very interested in feedback.
