I dont want to mess his laptop.I have heard some linux u could install as a file under windows u could also see it. it is quite big file and under windows u could also boot this linux.And whenever u want to get lost.U just deleted.Someone suggested us to use livecds but for us cd usage dont fit.Its keep annoying us with cd noise.
Thanks.

You'll want to install something like "VirtualBox" first -- which is a virtual machine environment for such things.

i really dont know but it might be a linux distribution that does.Have u guys heart about that?
Thanks.

DON'T INSTALL LINUX on your friends laptop. Do not consider that since you ask, you run the risk of messing up his machine.

Consider what szboardstretcher suggests. A virtual machine is a program or application just like word or works or paint or such. It allows one to run a virtual computer in a windows window.

Safe ways to play with linux or in no order.

A live cd.

A live usb.

A virtual machine.

Network booted to netboot.me or boot.kernel.org of to slitaz site.


For choices of the linux, consider any of the top 30 or so at distrowatch.com.

Additional options.

I think this what i am talking about. Ok before now, i think five years ago. Opensuse had something like that as i above mentioned, a live cd with this live cd u could also install linux. Am i right?
