No virus scans, no startup programs, not even a registration key while you're installing it. (that's right, you pay NOTHING and you never will). This is WAY better than a live-cd linux, because here you can actually store things, and retrieve them reliably, and you don't have to make the switch from windows to linux. It's a free download, it's an iso image, and it works.

I can't quite remember where I downloaded it (Marijuana effects the memory) but I will find it soon, if someone else doesn't first.
NOt familiar w.xp lite, but this is what I meant aboutlimitations in running an OS off a CD. I wasn;t talking about install cd;s, that you keep on file.

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
