Lubi

The Linux-based Ubuntu Installer allows users of any modern Linux distribution to install Ubuntu without needing to use a CD or repartition the hard drive. Once installed, the user will be able to boot between their original Linux distribution and Ubuntu, and can either upgrade the Lubi install using LVPM, or easily remove the Ubuntu install.

LVPM

The Loopmounted Virtual Partition Manager allows users to upgrade their existing Wubi or Lubi installation to a full Ubuntu system by transferring all data, settings, and applications from the original install to a dedicated partition. The advantages of upgrading using LVPM are better disk performance and reliability, and the ability to replace the original operating system with Ubuntu.

UNetbootin

The Universal Netboot Installer allows installation of Ubuntu from Windows or Linux without a CD. Unlike Wubi/Lubi, which installs to a loopmounted filesystem, UNetbootin gives the Linux install a dedicated partition like a standard CD installation would; thus, it provides better disk performance and reliability, and has no dependency on the original Windows/Linux install.

Bubakup

Bubakup, the Bootable Ubuntu Backup,allows you to create a bootable backup image of your running system. It supports creating uncompressed, bootable loopmounted disk images of the whole or parts of the system, deleting backup disk images, archiving backup disk images, restoring archived backup disk images, and restoring the backup to an actual partition using LVPM.
