Which Linux live-cd do you recommend for zero level users?

by jdclyde . Updated 17 years, 2 months ago

I was talking with my Uncle yesterday, and we got onto the topic of computers. He doesn’t know a lot about them, but is fascinated by them, so he likes to have these discussions with me.

I told him I was running a linux laptop, and had a few desktops that I am going to be loading linux on for my boys, and he stated that he wished he knew more about it. That was when I told him about the liveCD’s, for the worry free sampling of a linux desktop.

He didn’t understand about making his own disk, so I told him I would just get him one.

He has a very new laptop, running Vista, so it should be able to handle anything we throw at it, but no, I don’t know what brand/model.

Which version would you recommend I set him up with?

Are there any issues he needs to know about to keep from breaking his system? 😀 I saw in one where it asks if you wish to save your settings. That can’t/won’t mess with Vista, will it?

Thanks.
