Cooperative Linux... Is it the former Topologilinux?. If so, it's great: it runs truly fast, you can choose real Linux boot. I loved it. The bad side is installing it, in my opinion: It is Slackware based and it is not too friendly for a common user. More, I had to install it "twice": first, a real install, and later set it up running from Windows.

What I wonder is why can't you simply make a dual-boot install, so that your wife can boot win and you can boot your preferef OS?
