Installing Ubuntu Or Fedora From A Windows Or Linux System With UNetbootin
UNetbootin is a tool that allows you to install various Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Fedora, Mandriva, OpenSuSE, Debian, ArchLinux) from a Windows or a Linux desktop over the internet (i.e., you don't need to burn any CDs). In the end, you have a dual-boot system (Linux/Windows or Linux/Linux).

Article (6 pages) here.

Looks really interesting but be careful, people.

How secure is this? You have to still be connected while it's installing the OS to your machine. I have a testy laptop that I am going to try it on but for machines with valuable data . . . caution.
