I just tried out DemoLinux, the distribution that doesn't require an 
installation.  This is N I C E .  This would be a  GREAT  giveaway item at the 
Big Red Welcome.  Why?  No installation required.  You don't have to remove the 
current operating system from your computer to use it; you simply pop in the CD 
and pray that your hardware supports it.  This worked very well on a desktop P3 
I have, but not so well on a laptop.  KDE with a bunch of games...utiliites 
including the all-important Emacs.  If you want to save files and install 
software, you can do that, too.  It's Debian-based, so you have the beauty of 
apt-get at your disposal.  (I haven't yet learned the trick of installing 
software, I must admit.)  Although it is a bit slow running from the CD, it is 
a good glimpse of a Linux system.
