Yeah. Zero install. Unzip a file and you're ready to execute stuff.

As I say, DSL uses it to run off a USB flash drive. Stick the flash 
drive in, double-click, you have Linux running. Don't even have to 
reboot. Live CDs EAT YOUR HEART OUT! (OTOH, emulation is obviously just 
a tad slower...!)

Actually, I *think* you can even tell it to use your real CD-ROM drive 
as the emulated CD-ROM, if you don't have an ISO image but have a real 
CD... You can also do the same with your HD, but... uh... don't!
