if you are comfortable resizing a partition, it is possible to install ubuntu on a everex that has windows already on it. I am currently posting from my Ubuntu partition. Now using Wubi isn't possible unless you were to create your own iso that Wubi used. Using the alternate CD isn't too hard, and it does allow you the option of repartitioning your hard drive during the installation process, but unless you actually know what you are doing, I don't suggest you do this. http://www.fitzenreiter.de/averatec/index-e.htm has a torrent of the live cd that has been patched. So that may work with wubi, or will allow you to have a graphical interface while installing ubuntu.

I'm currently using Intrepid Ibex, and it's running great....to get it running I had to blacklist two modules in the kernel using the following commands: "sdhci.blacklist=yes sdhci_pci.blacklist=yes" but other than that. it's been smooth sailing.
