Is there a live boot Cd that includes limewire and a music player that can sync my ipod too?

I’m looking for a for a free live boot CD such as linux that contains limewire, the internet and a music player that corresponds to my iPod. Is there anything out there for me?

Ubuntu or kubuntu?

I can’t decide between the two. I like both ubuntu and kubuntu equally and I’ve been running both off the live cd for a few weeks. I installed a new hard drive so I can finally set up my dual boot and then I just have not been able to decide. Any suggestions? Pros/cons? I know they’re pretty much the same from an operating system viewpoint but what do you think? What’s your personal favorite and why? Anything will help.

And also my computer won’t have a problem running either.
3GB RAM
AMDX2 5000+ (2.6ghz)
500GB Hard drive (only for linux I have another 400GB for my Vista)

Virtual Machine (for Linux)?

I want to learn more about Linux and the different distros before I try to dual boot or anything of the sort. I tried live cds, but you can’t learn much from those, as you can’t save anything and download anything without having to keep resetting an internet connection. I tried running Linux through Windows Virtual PC 2007 and 2004, but neither of them work. I’ve heard of VMware, but which one do you download? I’ve also heard of Virtual Box and am considering trying it.

So which download is the right one?

Will creating a Linux partition resolve a Master Boot Record issue for a HDD with Windows ME installed?

I Accidentally Screwed up my 80 Gig HDD with Windows ME. It seems i deleted my Master Boot Record. I have repeatedly tried to use “Fdisk /MBR” to repair the problem, but the command doesn’t seem to do anything. I can access all of my files using the DOS on my boot disk, but Windows still won’t boot up. I can, however, boot up Xubuntu using a live CD. If I Use the Xubuntu Install to disk feature, it gives me the option to create a new partition. Would Creating a new partition, and installing Linux Create a new MBR? Would that help get Windows ME going again? or would that only compound the problem?

Which Linux Distro?

is best for a Graphic Designer? I am looking for a regular distro not a live bootable cd. As of right now I am downloading Dreamlinux. Is there anything better?
Please DO NOT put your favorite distro. I personally like Mandriva. I am looking for a good Graphic Design Distro.
