Hi,
I was recommending a Live CD ......... YOu see that LInk
http://www.linuxiso.org/ it has Many Linux Distrubutions.......... you can choose any .............. the One you have been reccommended is fine but no the Top Notch one ....... i have 10 CD of Ubuntu Linux CD's........ they were sending CD free of Cost Anywhere in the world once and i ordered 20

.
I would have Gone For Fedora or Slax myself but that's everyones Personal Choice.
- Now Download the .ISO File
- Save it Anywhere on your Hardisk
- Open that File with your Nero Burner
- Burn a CD
- And you are ready to Rock
- Put the CD in the CD ROM and Restart It will autometacally Boot Into the LInux you have Downloaded]
