Demo Linux is a distribution of Linux that requires no:

HDD partitioning
Formatting/Reformatting
Installation

"This site is dedicated to the production of CD Roms (the DemoLinux CDs) that allow to run Linux without installation, disk partitioning and other hassles that usually prevent people from giving Linux a try."

"Hardware Requirements"

To try out DemoLinux, you need a PC equipped with a CD-ROM and

at least 32 Mb of RAM for simple graphics interfaces, 64 for advanced graphics interfaces, 128 to use StarOffice "


For most users, this is a great idea! The only problem for me is that my computer that I'm allowed to fool around with has something like an 8x CD Rom drive, and is a 586 processor(P1, w/MMX) with the big HP of 200mhz. But seeing that this distribution can boot off of a CD, without installing, one can try it out and find the space in their heart for it. It also comes with StarOffice, I think...
 
well it would be nice to see it run if i can only find out where to dl if from.
 
I like it. I used to be a MS supporter but after reading that article I think saleen man put up I hate them, and I would support anything that would threatin MS.
 
I found a place that has a bunch of DemoLinux files:

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/demolinux/3.0/

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/demolinux/3.0/demolinux-3.01-650.iso - You need a 650MB CD for this file

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/demolinux/3.0/demolinux-3.01.iso - You need a 700MB CD for this file

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/demolinux/3.0/boot.img - This is to create a boot disk, if your computer needs a disk to boot off of the CD ROM

There are a few other languages available, like French and I think MAYBE Spanish, but I'm not sure.
 
Here's a 'brief' note at the bottom of the page, just in case you guys didn't check it out *tisk tisk*

"IMPORTANT:

More information on the DemoLinux project can be found at www.demolinux.org.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Howto burn an ISO image ?
All the CD-Writing software can use ISO image to burn directly a CD-Rom.

Important note: take care to download the ISO in binary mode (FTP).
By default Netscape and Internet Explorer download the file in ASCII mode which corrupt the image.

Please avoid downloading the ISO with a 56K modem line.
If the dowload fails you can use "Resume" which allow you to continue the download.
It works with ftp (reget), ncftp, CuteFTP, Getright, ...

With Easy CD Creator:
--------------------
Open Easy CD Creator
Go to "File"
then to "Create CD from disc image"
make sure to change the bottom drop down menu ("Files of type:") to say
"ISO image files"

It will do the rest after you browse to the *.iso file
(Thanks for zacheyer)

With WinOnCD:
------------
you can select a
"track-image" project when you click the New button. So long as you are
in track mode, not file-system mode (how that looks depends on whether
you have 3.0 or 3.5) then dragging a track image file onto the CD window
should accept it as a raw track. WinOnCD uses .RAW as its own
extension
(Thanks Rick Jones)"

I took the liberty of making what I found the most important note more bold.
