No, this used to be possible, but the mandatory automatic firmware updates Sony released block you from using the Yellow Dog Linux that was available for the PS3.
Usually /home Sometimes /var If a lot of distro hopping happens, /boot
Any reasonably modern Linux kernel (2.4 and higher) and any distro using such a kernel should be able to boot from and access the entirety of a 500 GB hard drive. Examples of modern distros include Ubuntu. OpenSUSE, Debian 5, PCLinuxOS, and Linux Mint.

There is no scientific measurement for how "fast" an operating system is. You can only compare things like: 1. How fast an operating system boots. The fastest booting desktop distro is probably Mach Boot. 2. How much or how little RAM / processor power the system needs to run. The desktop distro with the lowest system requirements is probably Damn Small Linux. 3. How little space it requires. Tiny Core Linux requires only 10 MB for a very basic desktop system 4. The desktop that can best take advantage of hardware, such as video cards. Foresight Linux is designed to show off the latest Linux desktop environments, all with flashy effects and stuff.
grub ana LILO are the two boot loader in Linux
Diskless Remote Boot in Linux was created on 2004-04-01.

If you have a USB drive and your BIOS supports booting from a USB device then try that.
No version of Linux is officially supported by Boot Camp. Assuming when you compile Linux From Scratch you include support for the Macintosh's hardware, it will work just fine when using Boot Camp to prepare the system.
Yes you can. Ubuntu's WUBI uses the Windows bootloader (NTLDR) to boot Linux. It also uses the Windows filesystem (NTFS). This, however, is not the traditional way to do things. The traditional way to dual-boot Linux and Windows is to use a generic bootloader such as Grub to boot both Windows and Linux.
No!
As there are hundreds of Linux CDs, it is impossible to provide a comprehensive overview of what, if any, boot options they may provide.
