          If you are starting with it, try Virtual Box[^], which is free and open source.

                Sorry, but how possibly is cygwin remotely related to the query? The OP wanted to run the entire "Linux OS" from within Windows. So, he is looking for virtualization software. Not Cygwin, which is just an emulator.

                  Yes, you can. I do so with Virtual PC and VMWare.

                    Good suggestion with VirtualBox. I forgot to mention that one in my post :)

                      :confused: cygwin has nothing to do with running a Linux OS within Windows. Do reread the OP's question.
