Live linux cds are not a waste of time.

This is an excellent way to try out linux without installing something you may not like.

All you need to do is go into your bios settings and make sure 'cdrom' is set to boot first.

I know nothing about linspire but there are other excellent live cds as well. PCLinuxOS and Mepis are my faves. They are also easy to install if you so wish.

Hi buddy

As far as I'm concern TES you can run the ditros in Virtual PC. Microsoft Virtual Machine is not a good VM prog to run it though. I have tried them and many of them don;t show up. I prefer using VMware which is a bettter VM... Al my ditros run in it...

Hope this help
