Topologilinux, a project developing a Slackware-based Linux distribution that can be installed and run from within Windows (as well as installed on a separate partition), has announced an updated release, version 6.1.0:
"Topologilinux has now released version 6.1.0. This new version contains about 6 GB of software, including Linux kernel 2.6.17.13, GNOME 2.16.3, KDE 3.5.4, X.Org 6.9.0, OpenOffice.org 2.1, GCC, Xfce, coLinux 0.6.4, 3D games, ALSA sound system and many other applications. This version should be working on Windows Vista.
Another great thing is that you can also run it in 'real' Linux mode, like the traditional distributions. Topologilinux is very easy to install and does not require any partitioning at all."

About Topologilinux:
Topologilinux is linux distribution to be run on top of any dos/windows computer without partitioning your hard disk, and you can also run it inside your windows system.
It is very easy to install Unlike other Linux distributions
Topologilinux DOES NOT NEED ANY PARTITIONING.
It will run on your existing windows/dos partition in a directory named "/tlinux6". This release works on both NTFS and FAT partitions which means that you can run it under all existing Windows or dos systems. New since version 5 and above is that you can run it inside windows through coLinux, you can also use X windows through a vnc server and then connect using a vnc viewer.
BUT you can now since version 6.0 also install it in real linux mode without loopmount like the traditional distributions slackware,redhat,fedora,suse and so on if you prefer this methood.
It is also possible to run your existing windows program in Topologilinux through the windows emulator wine. Just enter wine your_program.exe
Also a great Office package is included in /extra, OpenOffice 2.0
To install enter: installpkg openoffice*.tgz.
It is now also a firewall in the /gnome directory named firestarter If you want to run the monitor just type firestarter as root or in the "root terminal" in gnome. it will also run as a service in the background if rc.firewall is on you just need to start firestarter up and configure as root first
