LinuxISO.org: ISO images of 35 different Linuxes

LinuxISO.org is a site with ISO images of 35 different distributions of Linux.  These are install images ready to burn to a CD, which is usually the easiest way to install Linux.  The site name is a slight misnomer; FreeBSD and netBSD are also available. 

I've had good success using these kinds of images with VMWare.  VMWare allows you to install an operating system as a "guest", which allows it to run at the same time as the "host" operating system.  In my case, the host is Windows 2000, but there's also VMWare for Linux.
