What I really want to do is play around enough with Linux to the point where I feel slightly comfortable with it. I just want to do this so I can say I have experience using it coming out of college. And I've always been really interested in it
But anyway, which version do you think I should go with? There are too many for me to narrow down. And I'm guessing for my situation it would be best to go with one of those live CD's that you can run the whole OS off of the CD/DVD itself. I've looked into Knoppix, but still don't really have a clue. Can you guys give me some suggestions and also where to download these?
Its your lucky day! I dont know much about linux but right now a version called linspire wich usually costs money is giving away their program for a couple of days. It is probably the most user friendly, so I would try that and see if you can get the hang of it. Then you can get into the more hardcore geek versions.
Signed up for my free copy, only trouble is there are almost 500 other people already lining up to download it, so I will have to wait a while to actually get it.
I always wanted to try a totally different operating system.

rofl. nono you're missing my point. if you burned the .iso file to a CD, then the CD would only have the .iso file
if you burned the disc image to a CD with the .iso, then it would have the files that were contained in the ISO such as the Linux kernel, the K Desktop Enviroment, and all the other junk
edit:or if he already knew that and wanted to use Linux with a CD, then just put in the CD, restart and you're done
