do you use linux distros or not?
Which (USB) Linux Live Distro should I get?
My laptop’s hard drive corrupted and I cannot repair it without paying money that I don’t have at the moment. I’m taking a long trip very soon, and would like to be able to use it (the laptop). I’ve used a few distros in the past, but they were very confusing, and never booted from an USB drive. My CD/DVD drive is broken, so it has to be USB bootable. Would like an intuitive interface, and as much windows-compatibility as possible (i.e. can open .doc, .exe, etc.) Also, if I could just get the distro files themselves (skipping the whole torrent the .iso, burn it, then copy it to the USB), that would be amazing! Torrenting is actually out of the question. Anyway, if there is a distro that fits all (or most) of the above, what is it?

What linux distro is good for an older pc?
My computer is pretty old. It has a 37GB Hard Drive, 512Mb RAM, and an AMD Athlon XP2500 519MHz CPU. I am running windows XP right now and have used up about half of the Hard Drive. I have burned several Linux Live CD distros and they were all pretty slow. I tried DSL and Puppy Linux but I didn’t like them. I want to try and partition my hard drive and do a dual boot. What linux distro would run well on my laptop? Ubuntu? Fedora? Mandriva? Or any other distro?

What is the most user-friendly Linux Live Mini-CD?
I’ve decided I want to help people discover Linux by providing live mini-CDs, so I’m trying to decide which version would be best. I would have liked to use (K)Ubuntu, openSuSE or Mandriva, but live and mini are rather mutually exclusive with those distros.
So, I’m looking for advice on what Live Mini-CD distro would be the most user friendly. I’m aiming at the average Windows user, so it should have a smart DE with, at least, OpenOffice.org and the GIMP or similar, with some multimedia suport out of the box.
I know this might be asking a lot from a mini-CD but I put nothing past Linux developers. So, what provides these features with no need for user expertise?
