The best one I consider is either

SuSE Linux 9.1 (Personal or Professional)
Red Hat Linux 9.0

Let me add to the list of live CDs GNUrag.

Mepis, SuSE Live, BhavyaOS, etc. There are a few more but don't remember their names at present

I would love to have a look at Ubuntu. Tell me as and when you have the CD. I will do that too

REDHat is the best, but i dont rcommend for a newbie, coz no mp3 player, no video player, no automount of drive, and also it cannot see a NTFS partition, i think u should go for Mandrake 10.1 or suse 9.1..

I am using PCQ Linux based on Fedora Core 1 and it has everything that you mentioned above. And I am not an expert in Linux still I can do almost all my work in there. Everything new needs a little bit of exploring for some time, but there is nothing that cannot be done in PCQ Linux
