First I'll briefly describe the current situation.
I dual-boot between Windows 7 and Windows Vista. I have around 10 GB available to install another OS on there, so I thought why not a Linux distribution.
My questions/requirements are the following:
The Linux distribution should be modern and be GUI based. Something along the lines of Ubuntu (I have some experience with v9.04).
It should not mess up my current boot setup.
I want to keep Windows 7 as the default choice, and keep the Windows 7 boot manager as the default.It should be reasonably lightweight. I have a modest setup: an Intel 1.8 GHz single-core CPU with 2 GB RAM.
Preferably, it should install as easily as something like WUBI for Ubuntu...
PS: This is on a laptop, so the driver support on the distribution should be good enough.
