Linux Options
Right, here goes.
I want to give Linux a shot, but my hard drive space is a bit limited. So I'd prefer to play around with a Live CD version till I get my hands on a new HDD. So far I've heard of Knoppix and something called SLAX. I've also heard that Ubuntu (which seems to be popular) released their latest version (Feisty Fawn??!!) but it doesn't seem to be able to run off the CD directly, at least it does not say so.
So has anyone here tried a Live CD version, and if so which would you recommend?
Note: I'm not going to use it for anything serious - I just want to get my feel of something non-Windows without having to go and buy a Mac. Internet access and ability to handle MS Word and Excel files (OpenOffice, I guess) is all I need.
