Re: [LI] [Off Topic] WinLinux 2000 & FAT 16/32

Hi Sathya,

This distribution of linux (Winlinux2000) allows you to install linux on
existing FAT16 or FAT32 partition. Under windows Linux is installed as a
package under windows. No repartioning, no native file system.

This is good for newbies who want to get familiar with linux, Otherwise what is
the point in installing linux over windows.
