Ubuntu and XP, together in harmony

Side by side on your PC, happily... Well, you get the idea. Lifehacker points to a neat new beta installer for Ubuntu that will drop a little Ubuntu love on your XP box (Vista not supported yet), without the need for a brand-new partition. It's kinda like a liveCD without the CD. Get it? Pretty neat if you just wanna be an Ubuntu voyeur. It's still pretty beta-fied, so YMMV (and you have been warned).
With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

I mentioned this in the lifehacker comments, so I guess I'll toss it in over here as well. You are able to keep xp completely separate from Ubuntu if you just install Ubuntu on a usb jump drive. I wrote up some instructions on how to do just this. And it isn't a live cd that is just dumped on the jump drive, it is the actual full operating system of Ubuntu. Give it a look:
