Run Linux without partitions

Want to take Linux for a spin? Forget partitions, dual-boot setups and live CDs: The new Ubuntu Windows installer lets you run the Linux distro while keeping the rest of your system intact.

In other words, it's like a live CD without the CD. Just run the installer, which in turn downloads a disk image of Ubuntu (actually, your choice of four Ubuntu distros), and then reboot your PC. Choose the desired boot option from the menu that appears, and presto: You're running Linux. This is a working prototype, not a finished product, so user beware. It didn't work on my Vista box (I discovered after the fact that Vista isn't supported yet), but it ran like a gem on an XP system. Great way to run Ubuntu without the hassles of partitioning or burning a live CD!

Fedora 6 Zod Live CD

Boot Linux from a CD with the new Fedora 6 Zod live distro from Red Hat.

The Fedora 6 live CD includes Linux 2.6.18, the GNOME 2.16 desktop environment and a wealth of tools and applications. The advantage of a live CD, of course, is that it lets you fully experience the OS without actually installing anything on your hard drive. It also makes for an awesome system-recovery tool.

The free Fedora 6 live CD is distributed as an ISO file; you'll need a program like Nero or ISO Recorder to burn it to a blank CD. For now the program requires an i386-based PC (i.e., a Windows or Linux box).
