do you use linux distros or not?
I just use the ubuntu live cd if something is wrong with my hard disk(WINDOWS OS) because I am a light gamer and I can’t sinc my windows mobile 6.1 with linux (any distro at least the ones which I have tried)
Using the LiveCD option does have its limitations however it is my preference to run LIVE sessions of many different Linux distros. other than my permanent installations of Linux Mint 6 and Linux Mint 7
Advantages of LiveCD’s
A LiveCD session does not touch your Hard Drive and runs from available CPU speed and RAM. If you have a PC with healthy specs. like myself LiveCD performance can be very good and at times it is hard to tell it is not a full installation on your Hard Drive.
I have countless Linux distros. on LiveCD. for example Fedora Sabayon Mandriva etc. so it allows me to run Linux without committing myself to a full installation. also I can run all my older releases of Ubuntu and Linux Mint. Only last week I spent a day running Linux Mint 3.1 (Ubuntu 7.04) based. Some of the older Linux distros. still have much to offer even though support for them has long since ended so making them less viable to run as a full installation.
Disadvantages of LiveCD’s
Performance can be poor if you have a PC with low specs.
Settings are not saved at the end of each session
You are somewhat limited on the amount of software you can add due to lack of space

Numerous other distros. have been run from LiveCD
Most notably various releases of Fedora Mandriva Sabayon etc. which remain on discs. and every now and again I will fire up and have a LIVE session which is one of the great advantages of Linux
RECOMMENDED DISTRO.
I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 7 Main Edition which as with all releases is Ubuntu based. Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled

You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint 7 then you need to create a Bootable LiveCD for installation
Linux Mint 7 can also be run direct from the LiveCD from Booting up without touching your Hard Drive
ALSO WORTH CONSIDERING LINUX MINT 6
