Well, colinux (www.colinux.org) is a way to virtualize linux so that
it can run in Windows. Most part of it is run natively so the speed
is pretty fast.
Although it feels pretty much like a real Linux, it is not as
transparent as VMWare, e.g., the kernel needs to be patched.
In other words, colinux is not a distro. It's comparable to VMWare and Xen.
