April's Digit magazine has a few linux versions incl Ubuntu and Damn Small Linux. Now I would like to run these from the CD/DVD itself like a Live CD. Is this possible? Or will it damage my machine which runs on Windows XP?

GNU/Linux will not damage your machine or the windows partition. But windows will screw linux or any other os that you may install by overwriting the boot sector and asking you to format any drive which is not fat or ntfs. From your questions it is obvious that u are new at installation. READ WELL ABOUT PARTITIONING BEFORE attempting an installation of anything (even windows 98). U (not gnu/linux) are likely to damage your setup.
