Please help me with Ubuntu Live CD!?

I wanna have Linux on my Apple iMac G3 700, and I dont want to delete my Mac OS X. I searched for may Linux distributions but still I dont have a solution. I downloaded Linux 8.04 .iso file and I burned it to a CD using Disk Utility (I know .iso files are burned differently). Thn I restarted my computer while holding C key. Black screen with text appeared and it said something like: Welcome to Linux… the default settings are:live… press tab key for options… press enter key if you dont know what to do because it is gonna start Linux(not really)… if you can not start type video=ofonly…
First I pressed just enter (which is the same as not pressing nothing , because if you wait the startup continues) and white screen appeared and than my computer shut down (i think it shut down, but the light of the power button was still on). Later I started my computer while holding the C key and than I typed video=ofonly but white screen appeared and then it gone blach with message Loading… and than disappeared (there was black screen with _ ,i was probably supposed to write something but I dont know what).
So please help me I wanna start my Ubuntu Live CD without installing nothing but that is what I get. If you know how to start the Live CD on PPC tell me but keep it simple :-)
My iMac has 700Mhz G3 processor, 60 GB HD, 512MB RAM, Mac OSX 10.3.9… and it is supported by Ubuntu.
If you know other version of Linux that can be started without installing nothing or is easy to install,tell me. Thank you for reading

what’s the best way to format a hard drive?

I’ve read on a linux forum site that shredding and melting a hard drive is the best way to get rid of information on it. or the next best is to find really good software and format it like 200 consecutive times. don’t really wanna do ‘neither of those. I’ve heard linux is best when when it comes to do with anything and everything about computers. like for instance, digging up old files on hard drives or formatting them. don’t remember the name of it, but I remember like a year ago, a friend had shown me this linux live cd. I think it had like a black desk top/background..?? he said it was like the next best thing to what the FBI uses. anyone know the name of that?? thanks, all
