One idea might be to supply a bochs setup, with a preconfigured BasicLinux
setup.  Bochs is an x86/PC emulator that will run on many systems (mainly
Unix machines, on whatever architecture; I use it on Sun SPARC machines, for
instance; but also on Windows).  It means Linux isn't really running on the
user's machine as an OS, but rather on a virtual machine instead.
