Hi i am running mac osx 10.5 and i have been bugging to try linux.I want to run a live cd but i don’t know what version of linux to get. is there a default version of linux? if so, i want the regular linux or the most popular. Also how do i download it?

Ok, I wanted to install Ubuntu on my 500GB external hard drive. Well actually at the time I was trying to install Kubuntu on it. Ok so I selected my external hard drive, and hit install. So once I installed, I wanted to test it by holding alt (option) after the mac turns on. So I held down alt, and instead of it showing all the bootable drives/CDs, the screen just stayed grey until a file with a question mark appeared on the screen. So I’m like ” HOLLY SH*T!!!!!! I INSTALLED IT OVER OS 10!!!!!” So I inserted the Live CD and held down alt and selected it. And big whoop-de-do, Linux and Mac OS X are gone! So I decided I will buy the Mac CD off Amazon, but until then I will need some kind of OS. So I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.10 so I can either hold down alt and select it or it will just go straight to Linux. So bottom line, I just need to find a way to install Ubuntu Linux 8.10 desktop onto my computer so it will be bootable.
Oh yah I’m using the live CD right now and I have an Intel based Mac Mini. (I’m not too sad OS X got erased, I think I had a virus anyway lol)
Oh and also I can’t call a technition because if my dad finds out he will beat be dead. Luckily he dosn’t use this computer.

whats the best version of linux that works with mac? i want the live cd thing so i dont have to change anything, should i use ubuntu, kubuntu or xubuntu and how? oh, i have a powerpc g4 1ghz powerbook with 1 gb ram

Well i just downloaded a live CD for ubuntu 8.1 and i love the OS ( actually i just dislike windows and mac). However I would die without my daily world of warcraft grind. Also the resolutions provided are way to low (only 800×600) I would like to have 1280×800. I have all of the drivers to make this happen. Also if i install Ubuntu will i be able to get windows back if i don’t have a disk?
All in all my questions are as follows:
1. How can i get WoW to run on Linux Ubuntu 8.1?
2. How can i increase the screen resolution to 1280×800?
3. How can I retrive windows if I for some reason dislike Linux?

Please help.
