You might want to consider running Linux on virtual machines.

I evaluated both VMware and Virtual PC to emulate PC class computers.  
Though I have yet to do so, at the time I thought, "I could set up a 
Linux system on a virtual machine for tinkering, learning and testing." 
  I went with VPC, though there are attractive features of VMware such 
as better networking scope and, I think, broader *nix support.  I now 
use VPC on my Mac (you need a powerful computer) and on my Windows PC; 
both Mac OS's and Windows OS's can be hosts.  I have been very happy 
with that.

Connectix has just sold the technology to Microsoft.  I'm not sure what 
the implications are, but I suspect that *nix support will not improve.
