This has to be one of the coolest things I've seen for quite a while. An entire linux system that runs within a Windows command prompt -- without the need of VMWare or anything else similar. It's called CoLinux (from Co-Operative Linux) and here's a screenshot of it running on my own Windows XP system. Quite extraordinary.
It's still in beta or even alpha release and requires a bit of tweaking and fiddling to get working, but it's not horrendously complicated and so far seems to do most things asked of it. It's perfect for if you dual-boot between Windows and Linux, as it can use your existing Linux root partition as its own filesystem root, so you'll have essentially your Linux system running simultaneously with your Windows one. Ace!
