You could just download a bunch of linux distributions and test those in a virtual machine e.g. via Virtualbox

Though the performance will be a lot worse.

I agree, I have been interested in Linux for some time and did an Open University module in Linux last year and we used VirtualBox to test and try different Linux flavours as it runs in M$ Windows without affecting it. Note that running an operating system in VB will not give you a true indication of the speed increase that running it as an installed OS will give..

 

Ubuntu is very good as is Mint and Mandriva, although Novell has Microsoft connections, OpenSUSE is good too. If you have an older box which is stuck in a corner doing nothing, then try PuppyLinux, it will give it a new lease of life. Oh yes, get yourself a live disc or USB drive with Knoppix on as a rescue drive to recover files.

 

Hope this helps.
