I’m wanting to try and get my new aluminium Intel iMac 2.4ghz with 24″ screen to run some linux live cd’s, not interested in running a dual or trip-boot system yet, just wanting to test the waters, but haven’t had much luck finding any that work yet…..Can someone point me in the right direction? thanks!
Although the first answer is helpful, I repeat, I DO NOT WANT TO INSTALL LINUX AT THIS TIME, I JUST WANT TO TEST LIVE CD’S, Thank you.

This is on a laptop with realtek wired network interface and intel pro 2000 wireless interface. Networking all works fine on the live cd. After the livecd has been installed the networking won’t work – can’t activate the wireless card, wired interface says it is activated but won’t work and the network manager icon does not show in the system tray. I’m a linux newbie, and after searching for a while I’m stumped. Any ideas?
Thanks
Thanks for your reply, I’ve tried your suggestions. Restarting the network wouldn’t work, but after disabling the network manager and rebooting at least the wired interface is now working. However how would I use the wireless interface with WPA if the network manager tray icon is not there to enter WPA keys?

I have a Toshiba M105-3041, which has 512mb of memory, 80gb hard drive, Intel Centrino, and it is not booting up…I am a computer expert myself, and I have beating my head away trying to figure this out, but I keep thinking that it could be something else. I get a blue screen when booting up Vista Basic, so what I did was I pressed f8 and told the pc to start up and not restart after it fails, the blue screen read, that it was not able to write to the memory because of an I/O error. This is my diagnosis, I think that it is the memory stick, I dont think its the right kind, I mean I ran a live cd of linux and it worked perfectly with no flaws, when I opened the memory bay, it had no memory, so I got some memory from another laptop that had roughly the same speed and that was very similar and used that, but it will not boot up windows xp or vista. What do you think is wrong? I think that its because its the wrong memory.

Specifically, I want to try ubuntu on my macbook pro and have heard that I can use a live cd to do so. However all the tutorials I have found are very out of date. How do I do this? Or if I did want to dual boot, how would I? I mostly want to experiment with Linux and am very intrigued by ubuntu and want to give berryl a try. What can I do?
