I am looking for a downloadable version of Linux that will run on a Windows XP machine as a guest of XP.  I found 2 that looked promising at first, CoLinux and DragonLinux, but each had difficulties that made them impractical.  I suspect the problems stem with the way XP has been re-developed from earlier Windows.  All the PCs I have to work with are XP.  These PCs have been setup in a way that makes them impossible to reboot from a floppy drive or the CD-ROM drive.  The college doesn't want us students messing with them, but being able to run some kind of Linux on them would be handy.  I am taking a UNIX/Linux System Admin. class...
