What version of linux do u recommend for newbies?

I’m tired of OS X 10.4.10 which crash all the time ,slow and unstable – just like Windows PC. I wanted to port to Linux ,I tried Ubuntu but it failed to boot Live CD (EE: no screen blabla, something with the xorg.conf)

Why can my pc run any operating systems?

I was on XP on day and i got like 7 error messages and the pc shut down. Now it does the same thing every time i boot up.

Then I tried a couple of live linux cds and none would even boot up all the way.

I know a lot about computers but, I’ve never seen anything like this?!?!?!?!?!?!

Xp discs won’t boot, any ideas?

Was using Slackware Linux 11 and needed to install XP, so just like normal, chucked the XP disc in and went to boot up from the CD as normal..except this time nothing happened. Got to the press any key to boot from CD and it just went black. Thought maybe it was my DVD drive, so i chucked in an Ubuntu live cd and it booted fine. I tried 2 discs with XP on them and both went black and just stalled. Any ideas what the problem could be?
