I think its just like running it on a slave drive, so linux boots from the cd in the cd rom rather than the hdd, maybe im wrong ?
Saves you having to install linux on ya drive i think thats the main point, daul booting windows and linux from the same drive can be a bit dodgy.

I now dual boot XP and Kubuntu, but it wasn't until tonight that I actually gave thought into trying KNOPPIX which is a Linux distribution that can boot and run from one standard CD. It is a great thing to try if you are looking into trying linux for the first time. It is very easy if you can manage to download one 700MB ISO image and burn it to a CD-Rom and configure Rating: 5
