I downloaded and installed it.. it's an actual windows installer that puts
linux in a folder (it doesn't partition the hard drive) on the windows
drive. It uses the windows fat32 as the filesystem. It also has a windows
based configuration utility to configure x-windows, and system devices. To
boot it, you double click its icon.. it uses loadlin, the dos linux-loader.
Windows shuts down, and linux boots. Overall, for a total newbie, it's not
that bad of a setup. Of course, after they become accustomed to linux, they
should ditch it and install a true linux setup. I was unable to see how it
performed, as I couldn't get X to start (couldn't get my video card to work
in red hat either). It comes packaged with KDE as the default window
manager, and a few good apps, including netscape. I think that if people
had more experience using such a setup, they'd feel more inclined to move
onto a system like Red Hat.
