Is there a version of Fedora or Debian with a loop mounted partition (similar to installing Ubuntu with Wubi)?

Posted by – Juni 26, 2010

I am a Vista user (love it!, hate XP) who also has a great deal of experience with Linux Ubuntu. However, I need to learn how to use a RedHat version of Linux (Fedora, CentOS, etc.), but I do not want to physically partition my hard-drive for fedora. At the moment, I cannot afford to go out and by an external hard-drive for fedora either. Is there a version of Fedora that uses a loop mounted partition? Or is there a way to create the loop mounted partition to install fedora into? ANY AND ALL HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

    Well Ubuntu and Debian are closely related although many Linux purists would argue otherwise http://www.ubuntu.com/community/ubuntustory/debian

    At this time a Wubi like installer does not exist for Fedora http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=212592

    There is one possibility and that would be to install Debian or Fedora or both on a virtual machine. For this I recommend VirtualBox http://www.virtualbox.org/ Its easy to install and use and works well.
