I would setup another partition and install the OS there. Avoid the virtualization method, you would have to deal with the compatiblity issues there too (plus the ones with the linux kernel).

Keep in mind though that usually you need more than one partition for a sane linux distro setup. main partition and swap partition, or even more (home directories, user data, etc.).

How ya doing, buddy?

You need a lot of memory for disk cache to get LiveCD to run smoothly. Even more with a LiveDVD, however I think 2GB of memory should suffice for most distro live CDs. At least if you're not into that heavy-memory stuff like 3D desktop eye candy..

There's nowhere I can't reach.
