So here is the thing, I am new to linux (very interested), and i would like to be able to run it in windows. I have looked around on the site, but I am not quite sure what I am looking for(not sure of the tech terms, "embedded" maybe?). Could anyone tell me how or at least point me to the right place?

Also, does this need to reformat your jumpdrive? (mine contains emulators and such that I want to keep, but still has ~100mb of space.

Thanks for your help guys.

kerber, If you want to run dsl under windows to try it out, you do want the embeded version.  It comes as a zip file, which you unzip and then run the bat file it contains.  look for it in the "download" section.

The embeded version doesn't need to format any drives, it emulates two hard drives by using normal windows type files(fat instead of linux).  It's very easy to load and run.

Once you've tried it out, try the CD version, since it runs far faster and I think is much better.  But to try it out look at embeded.

uhhh......... yeah so I tried doing this and it comes up as what looks like a DOS window. I let it load up and everything but when it finally loads the screen is scrunched up and really small. It still works its just that you cant see what you are doing. Please help!!!  :(

Download DSL from any mirror
Download QEMU a free emulator (use google please)
create batch file with this content:

c:\bin\qemu.exe -L %QEMU_HOME% -m 128 -boot d -cdrom "images\dsl-1.2.1.iso" -enable-audio -localtime

(assuming the batchfile is created in bin folder, quemu is in the bin folder, and the iso file is in c:\bin\images folder.)
