linuxgeek: Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Qustions When Running from Live CD

Thanks for the answer Joan. At this point I've only been running live from CD, older versions of both Knoppix & Puppy. I'm planning to try live USB's in the future if my free time opens up in the real world. Planning to compare Knopix, which I'm most familiar with, Mint & Ubuntu. I'm also trying to finish rebuilding an older Dell Optiplex & trying Wubi.

Additional question--is Ubuntu the only distro that'll work with Wubi??

Sorry-I forgot to bottom post--I'll try harder to remember.
