There has been a bit about Linux lately, you may be intersted in this letter
fron Computeractive magazine.

I was pleased to read your article on Linux in issue 125. You mentioned that
Evesham sells a PC with .Lindows pre-installed. But you didn't mention that
Time also sells a range of PCs with Linux pre-installed - the Lin-Flex range.
There is also a much easier way try Linux for anyone worried about dual
booting.
There's a Linux distribution called Knoppix that boots and runs from CD ROM.
Nothing is installed on the hard drive except the documents you create. You
just put the CD in your drive and reboot your PC, providing it is set to boot
from the 'D" or whatever letter your CD drive is designated drive.
Knoppix is also very useful in e event of a disaster because if ur usual
operating system won't foot you can use it to get access to your files

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
