I want to try Linux gOS on my Lenovo laptop.
But I want to keep the original OS (Windows XP).
How can I do it?
Will ThinkVantage still work after installing gOS?

i believe you can run the OS live.....meaning running the OS from CD or USB key without actually installing the OS on physical harddrive

Most linux allows you to try it directly off CD, before installing it.

Since gOS is based on Ubuntu (+ gadgets)....i strongly believe that you can try it without installing anything.

But obviously, you don't get the full experience of linux

Good~
Then I can try it without much fear.

Thank eraser_rx for the reply.
What is meant by "you don't get the full experience of linux"?
Is the performance reduced because I run it on CD instead of harddrive?
