I have WINDOWS VISTA and would like to learn unix commands and scripts.
Is there any option to run Unix on my system, from the CD drive (I mean, without installing)?

Sure, that's possible. Do you want to run it within Windows or boot the system into UNIX from CD?

Hi,
I have moved your question to the Unix Answers forum. You originally posted your question in the Unix Insights forum which is used for articles, how-tos, and tips/tricks.
You will receive more help on your question here. In the future please post any Unix questions in this forum.

You have a few options, use vmware to create a virtual machine in which you can work, cygwin (install unix like environment within your windows) or use a LiveCD (every distro has one)
My personal favor: a virtual machine, this will allow you to save data and actually work with the system without having to redo everything all the time.
Please google segwin.
Also u can use live cd for UBUNTU or FEDORA, SUSE etc...

Don't forget that you can also install things like Ubuntu onto a memory stick and boot from that. That way, you can save things.
I have XUbuntu installed on a 2 gig pen drive and it works great.

As does FreeBSD with PC-BSD and DesktopBSD and FreeSBIE.
you can use Vmware workstation and then install any UNIX OS in that

Is there any way to add an embedded resource to a project without copying it
