Like using Ubuntu with wubi. Can other linux distros just be installed on C:\ drive too, like a normal program that could be later removed?

I’m looking for a lightweight Linux distro that doesn’t look horrible.

Include all GNU Linux Distros under Linux…

I know
MS Windows, Linux and Macintosh… others?

Firmware version: 4.05.03
Boot version:2.01.09
Hardware:F5D7230-4
Serial No. :BEL1KHAT

All GNU/Linux distros and FreeBSD can never detect my router, or my wireless adapter, or my NIC card the only way I get internet is if I have a ethernet which I don’t.

As Microsoft begins its slow migration to the integration of open-source software into it’s system, amazing things have happened. Most recently, Microsoft released 20,000 lines of code as a contribution to the linux Kernel which include 3 linux-based device drivers, all in the hopes of enabling Linux/Unix distros to be virtualized into programs such as Hyper-V for cross platform integration.

What is your opinion on this? Do you like it or not, and why?

Is it possible to put more than one Linux distros on a Live USB? And if you do, how do you choose which one you want to use at start up? Does it look like the dual-boot screen if you had a dual boot on your computer?

I have a dell inspiron 1501, and the only thing I’ve tried that works with the wifi card is sabayon, I’ve tried countless fixes, and none seem to work. So I was wondering if there are any linux distros that will work out of the box, and more specifically, if the dell ubuntu iso will work?

First, a bit about my background.. I currently work as a Network Engineer, mainly with Cisco routers/switches and VPN devices. I am throughly familiar with Windows, both as a workstation and server, and have one more test to go to complete my MCSE. However, I have no real experience with Linux, and feel like this is both a hole in my personal knowledge and in my resume. I can do basic user stuff both from a command line and in Xwindows, but have no real command of it.

That said, I intend to rectify this. I want to start using Linux as my primary operating system on my personal PC, as I feel this is a great first step to really force myself to learn it. I need to know what distribution would be best for me to use. My concern is some of them seem to have alot of propriatary tools that are not found in other linux distros, I want to find one to learn on that will best allow me to be comfortable on any linux distro I run into in the future. Thanks much for your advice!
