Haven't gotten around to trying the CentOS Live CD yet. Does it support
customization on a USB key (like Knoppix)?
LiveCD+USB key might serve the OP's purpose as an XP alternative. (Or -
my preference - just shrink the XP partition and dual-boot if that is an
option for you [e.g. not somebody else's laptop].)
