For those of you that have Windows and want to get in on the action...

You can download a free copy of VMWare's Player, which can run Linux "next to" your Windows: http://www.vmware.com/download/player/

You can then download a pre-built Linux to plug into it: http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/cat/45

iRex uses Ubuntu but anything Debian is pretty compatible (I use Debian's Sarge myself.)

There are even several Linux distros installed in German.
