Linux on one CD

[ramborums]

is there any good flavour of Linux which comes on one CD? Just to learn the fundamentals of installation and configuration. Of course preferably something i cud download for free. i ve tried using Fedora but it comes on 3 CDs.

Thanks for any info..

Get a Ubuntu CD. It is a Live CD aswell as installation CD.

Thansk all for the unanimous Ubunto!

Now is it workable to download the whole file? I ve not succeeded so far. Also which can i choose between 7.04 vs LTS vs alternate CD? Is there any difference there? Is there an option of buying this CD for a small price?

Thanks again
Ramesh

^^ If you want to avoid the installing part and try (almost) everything which is normal out there, then go for knoppix.

ubuntu will also run live man....
after this is upto him, if he wants to install it or nt..

[aditya.shevade]

^^ Yeah, but the Knoppix, as a live CD is way too much better than Ubuntu as LIVE CD.

Yes,Knoppix is a packed live distro,while it is fun to know that Ubuntu was born from Gnoppix(half born) ,a Gnome based Knoppix.
