What if you are scared of getting out of your comfort zone of using Windows, but still want to try Ubuntu? What if you don't have enough spare space in your HDD and don't want to lose valuable data by installing Ubuntu (or any other distro, for that matter)? In other words, what if you want to use Ubuntu without actually installing it?
Voila. Its possible. Use a live CD. Download the iso of the live CD from the Ubuntu website. A live CD loads the kernel into the computer's memory, without affecting the HDD, and runs itself by utilizing the memory and the CD drive.
I don't know much about how Linux live CDs (although I've used Ubuntu live CD on several occassions) work, but I am trying to gather info (thanks to the very large and helpful Linux community available online) about it and I'll post more on it as soon as possible.
