Is there a way to download linux without a disk drive?

Q. I got this new laptop (ultra portable) without a disk drive. I remember hearing ti was possible to get linux running with a flash drive but, what I want to know is if it's possible to download linux with it (dual boot). If not is there any other way? I'm using an Ubuntu like distro.

A. You have at least 2 options: use unetbootin (see link below) and use an usb drive. or use wubi to download ubuntu to your computer and install from there.
You should also check out the ubuntu remix for the netbook, )see the 3rd link.
Good luck

Is it possible to download Linux with a CD?
Q. I have an extremely old Windows laptop that can't go on the internet (it's modem doesn't work). I want to download Linux on it in order to see how the operating system works.

Is it possible to upload Linux to a CD and download it that way? If so, can someone tell me how?

A. Download an ISO image distribution and install it on a CD. Many distributions come with a live CD package that allows you to run the Linux OS from the CD drive without messing with your Windows installation. You might want to try an older version of Linux if the notebook is not up to speed. SimplyMEPIS (MEPIS.org) is a good combination of software that includes apps OpenOffice and stuff. I would download one of the older distributions like 7.0 or 6.5 for an older PC.
