I already have tried the regular live cd option for Ubuntu and it did not work on my laptop because my laptop apparently does not have enough RAM to run it. I think the RAM is like 256. I’m going to be trying edubuntu and kubuntu next.

What is the best Linux distribution for a person new to the Linux operating system?

Linux help?
Hey everyone. I’m having an issue while trying to boot off the live cd I downloaded and burned. I am able to run it on my desktop just fine but when I try to load it on my laptop my screen turns weird. What will happen when I boot is: the ubuntu welcome screen comes up asking me what I would like to do. I choose start ubuntu and hit enter and then a quick message flashes on the top that says “bios bug #81 found” after that the OS starts initializing and during all the system checks I notice another error that reads “error micro code: bcm43xx_microcode5.fw” After that a black grid comes up on the screen and covers the entire screen while a blue/grey blob glows and gets really bright and then slowly fades until the screen is completely blank. Has anyone had this problem or know how I can fix it? Any help is greatly appreciated and the specs on my laptop are on this link:

Thanks.

erase linux from external HDD?
I recently installed Linux Ubuntu on a external laptop hard drive to keep vista on my internal drive. Ubuntu worked fine but there was one problem, the external hard drive had to be present in order to boot windows using Grub. In order to save myself from a future frustration (external drive being damaged or missing).
But my problem is this: now every time that I connect my external HDD (with Ubuntu installed) it doesn’t even show up on “My computer”. So I want to format it to the way it was (clean)
If not through windows, Can someone tell me how to format it throu the Live CD?
