I just bought this months PC Plus at Tescos and on the cover was a Mandrake Move CD. This is basically a complete operating system on a bootable CD which gives you the ability to test Linux out without actually installing it onto your hard drive. We have a spare P4 1.8 here which I decided to try it on. It booted almost as fast as what Windows does from hard drive and gave me a fully working desktop in next to no time. Even better this fully working desktop included internet connectivity, full office suite, games and all the other doodaahs one has come to expect in a Linux distro but which Windows users are still expected to install themselves and at higher cost.
Anyone wanting to see how Linux works without actually committing to installing it on a hard drive would be silly not to try this out.
