Suse Linux

Suse Linux LiveEval is a world-class Diskless Linux boot system. It does eat about 220 Meg of your hard drive without asking permission, in 4 files placed in your C:\ Windoze Root directory. Except for that detail, LiveEval is one of the sweetest Linux Diskless installs you can run, with the YAST2 configuration interface. Diskless, in this case, means it installs from the CD into RAM, and not onto your hard drive.
