Yeah. If I recall, some people were working on making a knoppix distro that was built to be run as a server/router/firewall, the premise being that its pretty hard to root a box that you cant write to...
Knoppix is a good distro to try and see if Linux is your thing. Its a little slow since everything has to load off of a CD, but it doesnt do anything to the computer its installed on, so you can run it without having to worry about screwing up your windows install.
