Yeah, this is just an easier way to test drive Linux Distros without setting up a virtual emulator like: VirtualBox(FOSS), VMWare(3rdParty), etc..The performance will rely heavily on your hardware and how good it is. As always, more RAM, Bigger HD, and more Processors make running Virtualization Applications faster. I personally use VirtualBox because it is opensource, but VMware has better harware support. And faster?

One program that I use is called UnetBootin. Its a simple program that lets u select from a long updated list of distros and with a click of a button, it will download the distro and create a live distro on your USB.

Is this just to test the software out? Or is there a real use for this? I guess I’d be concerned about performance.

Very cool. I’m often messing with VMs either in VirtualBox or some VMWare product, but always disliked creating a VM just to take a look at a Linux distro. This is a good find. Appreciate the knowledge share.
