Pretty cool experience. I downloaded and burned a version of the SuSe distro. It worked on my computer without a hiccup. All devices, printers, sound cards... were detected and working properly. Very impressed. No need for a messy dual boot.

This is a good solution for people that would like to use Lunix at a work (when forbidden to install it), at a web cafe, at a friend house... the possibilities are endless. I wish this could be done with Windows XP.
The settings that you save are written to your C drive in a *.usr file.
