You should be able to boot from your cd drive when it is starting up. You have two options:
1) Make sure the boot order has the cd/dvd drive prior to your hard drive
2) During system startup, hit whatever function key it will take to get you to a boot options screen and choose the cd/dvd drive (I think for Dell's its F8)
Of course, your linux cd will need to either be a live cd or a bootable install cd.
