It uses a filesystem called umdos

Pros- Don't have to repartition you hard drive, don't have to backup to
repartition.
Cons- I don't know this from first hadn exp, but I've been told it runs
slower than linux native fs. Plus who wants to share with dos :)

More or less, I know slackware can do this, suse can do it in demo mode.
I heard debain could do it. I haven't heard anything about if redhat can
or others. But most should, just check there site.
