Ok, so you're waffling on your decision to convert your computer from Windows to Linux. Well, if you have room to spare on your hard drive (approximately 500 MB for all of the KDE desktop stuff installed) you can try Linux without having to reformat or endanger your Windows files. That's right! Try before you buy! Or even better, the best of both worlds!

Currently, there are 3 distributions still in beta release that allow you to run Linux under a Windows FAT32 file system. They are:

PhatLinux
WinLinux 2000
Armed Linux
