i read somewhere that there is a version of red hat that can run directly from a cd (no install). is that tue? where can i find this linux distribution?
i am using windows xp for now and i would like to try linux but i dont have enought disk space (a friend of mine told me to create a partition with at least 6 gigs free, i just cannot do it!) and so i would like to try this "portable linux".

I have never heard of a version of RedHat that can be run from CD. However I do know there is one for SUSE Linux. An ISO cd image can be downloaded frome most of the SUSE download sites. SUSE's home is here: http://www.suse.com/us/private/download/suse_linux/
