I’ve been using windows all my life and a bit of dos when i was realy small. Not that i’m in university doing computer science i was wondering if i should change to linux.

So I just got a new Pentium M Dual Core laptop (it’s a 32-bit system, but I forgot the clock speed) with 1GB of RAM and 80 GB of harddisk space.
I tried to install Ubuntu 7.10 and 7.04 using the Live CD method (which was succesful when I install it on my Pentium D desktop).
But with both versions, after the boot menu and selecting “Install from Live CD”, the progress bar just stop at the middle in the boot screen.
Strange thing is, when I tried the so-called Linux Rescue Disc that came with the laptop, the Live CD goes fine without a glitch.
But I don’t want to install that crappy Linux, I want my UBUNTU!
Can anybody help me to get the Live CD works?
Is there any other way to install Ubuntu 7.04/7.10 besides using the Live CD mode?
Thanks/

i am wondering what linux version would be the best for me, i am a little bit of a nerd, i am a gamer, i love browsing the web and downloading videos, and i like to listen to music off of the web, and i want to have an ftp program of some sort. and i dont want to bog down on the processor any bit, i do not care for word prosesing or any hexediting programs, i want a music player and video player in it, and if this could all be bundled into a live cd that would be even better! but it doesnt have to.
thanks,
Cory
