Hello All!
I was wondering if there was a distro of Linux that would run inside Windows just like another application. I'd also like it to be GUI.
Thanks in Advance,

Linux is an independent OS, so no. However you can dualboot or get a Live CD, which kinda accomplishes what you are trying :tazz:

There sure is ... Co Linux is a major advancement in this area.

"Cooperative Linux is the first working free and open source method for optimally running Linux on Microsoft Windows natively. More generally, Cooperative Linux (short-named coLinux) is a port of the Linux kernel that allows it to run cooperatively alongside another operating system on a single machine. For instance, it allows one to freely run Linux on Windows 2000/XP, without using a commercial PC virtualization software such as VMware, in a way which is much more optimal than using any general purpose PC virtualization software"
