Which version of Linux is best?
It has to be run from a live CD or flash drive, unless you can tell me how to get an OS boot menu without messing up windows xp. I currently have Knoppix.
Today is the first time i have ever used Linux, I have herd alot of good and bad things, so i decided to try it for my self. So far i am amazed at its speed and stabality.
now im using UBUNTU, its great, takes a fue menits to get wsed to the color of it but then its great and easy on the eys.

Ubuntu installer, pressing enter does nothing?
I have a Ubuntu live cd and I have installed it successfully on 2 computers, yet it won’t install on this one. When I get to the cd boot menu I have “try without installing”, “install” etc. Clicking enter on any option causes the cd to whirr for a second and the harddrive to light up momentarily. Then…nothing. I can move up and down the menu again and enter still does nothing. I have puppy linux running on this (from a cd) fine. Any tips?
Thanks David, I would do that except this laptop refuses to boot from usb ;/ Many attempts have failed.
Trying yo install fedora core 9.?
I have a copy of fedora core 9 (copied from linux website). When I copy the op to a DVD rw cd it seems like everything works out alright. (All the files seem to transfer). What my main problem is that when I restart my computer, go to the boot menu (F12), and go to the DVD ROM option it says that no DVD ROM was found. I think that this is the right option because this is where I go to when I run a live cd version of linux.
Is the problem that I format the DVD with windows, that the dvd is RW, or am I just messing up along the way?
The best solution that ACTUALLY SOLVES MY PROBLEM will get the best answer rating.
