Using an external drive or a virtualized system are probably the best methods. The installation process alone teaches you things about linux. Yes you will come across some problems during the installation, but when you overcome the problems you will only learn more about linux. I do recommend using a live CD/DVD at first just to get a feel for linux. I don't think linux will really be the first choice for PC buyers, but I do think it will be a very common operating system. So it is a good idea to try out this linux thing. Another possibility is an external hard drive, just as Floyd mentioned.

Much faster than a CD, and you can save your settings and update it and even install programs not included with the CD. You can also do the same thing with a flash drive. Of course the computer you are using it on has to be capable of booting from USB. To demonstrate Kubuntu to people, I use the Live CD version, but I have it installed on a USB hard drive.
