Linux/Unix in the classroom

There are some versions of linux that install on top of a DOS file 
system.  To run them, you shutdown to DOS then run a BAT file.  I've 
played with them a bit on older hardware and they felt like regular 
linux with X, etc.

I don't know how well they'd work on top of NT or XP.

There are the floppy based linux distributions that run off RAM disks.
These typically don't have X though one or two might.

Zip drive or USB drive based distributions with a boot floppy will give more 
functionality.
