[Claudio Cesar Sánchez Tejeda]

Hi, how are you?

Sorry for the delay but I was very busy... Je!

Regarding this topic, I'm working in Coubuntu. It able install Ubuntu
from Windows without restart and permit use it in Windows like Portable
Ubuntu and standalone.

I think that the first release will be ready in the two next weeks.

Also, there is a forum to post question or other things regarding
Portable Ubuntu: http://portableubuntu.demonccc.com.ar/forum
