I have a Dell Poweredge 2550 server with 5 hard drives, only one of which I have not had trouble with.?

I want to know which distro of Linux I should load on it. I have tried openSUSE live CD, Ubuntu 7.10 live CD, Fedora Core live cd, and the Ubuntu 6.04 Dapper Drake LTS live CD which is the only one that worked. The ubuntu server 7.10 froze at 21 percent twice with 2 different downloads and cd’s, and so did the Ubuntu 7.10 alternate. I am currently trying the opensuse non live cd. I just want to use it as a file server and to browse the web and stuff like that. It has 2 933mhz prosessors, and 1 gb of memory. Thanks in advance!

Ubuntu live CD download?

Ok, I’ve got a spare 80gb drive, blank, and I want to run Ubuntu Linux on it. my problem being that, while I’ve downloaded 6 different ISOs, both desktop and server, none of them were actual live CDs. they were all “try it without altering your system!” garbage… so yeah, they all need the NTLDR in order to even think about doing anything. does anybody have a link to where I can download an Ubuntu live CD (9.10 plz) ISO? torrents, regular downloads, whatever. I don’t need the graphics interface, I just want the OS running on my PC, but it must be able to install on a BLANK hard drive. all my drives running windows are busy, and can’t be reallocated
