Let's have some feedback. Seems to be a very interesting project. Finally, Ramnikbhai can try out linux without having to "touch" his Existing Setup (TM).
Uhmm, Have u tried Knoppix yet? AFAIK, it has been doing the same things as virtual linux, for a while now, and has been doing them really well. Some advantages of knoppix are 1 - It's debian underneath. 2 - It has hardware detection better than any distribution in the market. 3 - It has a lot of software on just one cd (iirc, knoppix too uses cloop). 4 - It's possible to install knoppix on a hd and have a full fledged Debian system in less than an hour. 5 - It's very useful as a rescue disc (I have used it on numerous ocassions to backup data from a fat32 filesystem that Windows won't read). 5 - Lastly, it also happens to have a very helpful support website and IRC channels.
