Lunix for a Noob

I don't know jack shit about Linux, but I want to try a live CD. What distro would you guys recommend that is available in live CD form for a total beginner? I've already tried Ubuntu and it wouldn't boot.

PS: Somewhat knowing your way around will also help pose constructive questions. You won't believe what difference it will make being able to ask "The kernel crashes when loading xxx module, the yyy log says AAA, zzz log says BBB and my config and specs follow: [...]" instead of "ZOMG MY LUNIX DON'T BOOT LOLOL FUCK LUNIX". For one you might actually get constructive replies.

In my opinion you should go with Slax.
Easy live-cd, with on-screen instructions.

>>41 You can't be more wrong. freenode is very unhelpful, when you actually provide detailed information about the error - they think if you can provide that much info, you should be able to help yourself. Just flame Linux and say it worked so well under Windows and watch those fuckers run to your aid.

Go to a decent community instead. There are some with pros that are glad to help you, provided you give the necessary information in your first post. Those people usually don't like having to ask for every single bit of information.

But you're right in that the more you know the more problems you might be able to solve yourself. That's actually a good thing because you learn a lot about Linux in general and you distribution in the process.

Is this a good place to post this: http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm ?

That said, all channels that have #gentoo in thme somewhere are, in general, very friendly, if not the most hwlpful.  But really, more people read forums and have time to digest what you say and respond, so that's where to go unless you want to fish for answers NOW.

PS: Gentoo for learning through experience.

Learn how to burn an ISO file first, so that the iso file isn't the only thing on the disk. ;) Then you may get some results.

Isn't burning an ISO file just selecting "burn ISO image" on the burning program and selecting the ISO file?
