April's Digit magazine has a few linux versions incl Ubuntu and Damn Small Linux. Now I would like to run these from the CD/DVD itself like a Live CD. Is this possible? Or will it damage my machine which runs on Windows XP?
It would be good idea to get a separate harddisk for testing these things. Keep both harddisks separate. Disable the harddisk which you use for serious work in the BIOS and install / test Linux on the other harddisk. This is a good precaution meant not just for Linux but experimenting with OSes in general.
