I’m trying all kinds of distros, and the cd’s are stacking up. I notice most can fit on my usb drive, is there a way after I download the distro I can put it on my usb stick and boot to it, then install if I like the distro?

Problem using linux on my laptop?
I’ve been trying to get linux to work on my laptop, that had windows vista pre-installed on it. I tried running ubuntu from the live cd, but it stayed stuck on the loading screen. Then I tried installing it using wubi, and after I rebooted, I got the same stuck loading screen. After 4 hours of waiting it out, it still didn’t get any further. So I downloaded fedora and tried to run it from a usb drive and cd, but both didn’t work either, I just got a black screen when trying to boot.
My laptop should be able to run it spec wise, it is only 2 months old. I’m using a MSI VX600.
I also tried out fedora and ubuntu my home pc, which has windows xp, and it worked fine. So it’s probably something with my laptop, but I wouldn’t know what…can anyone help me with this?

Which (USB) Linux Live Distro should I get?
My laptop’s hard drive corrupted and I cannot repair it without paying money that I don’t have at the moment. I’m taking a long trip very soon, and would like to be able to use it (the laptop). I’ve used a few distros in the past, but they were very confusing, and never booted from an USB drive. My CD/DVD drive is broken, so it has to be USB bootable. Would like an intuitive interface, and as much windows-compatibility as possible (i.e. can open .doc, .exe, etc.) Also, if I could just get the distro files themselves (skipping the whole torrent the .iso, burn it, then copy it to the USB), that would be amazing! Torrenting is actually out of the question. Anyway, if there is a distro that fits all (or most) of the above, what is it?
