For those that don't know its a Linux Bootable CD the entire OS in on the CD. AND it uses a GUI just as windows does. It has everthing you need. YOU MUST TRY THIS
use the .torrent you will get it fast

EDIT

OH MY GOD THIS THING IS UNBELIEVABLE WOWOWOW I FIXED THE DISPLAY PROBLEM. I'm at full screen now thanks guys.

Man I love this thing. It has everything!!!!!! DAMN it I should have tried this long ago SCREWWWWWW Microshaft. I booted up and it detected BOTH of my External drives, my card reader, my burner. EVERYTHING.

EVERYONE SHOULD TRY THIS. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS FREE!!!!!

I know I still need windows for somethings but Damn it Right now I'm more excited than when I'm having SEX.

If your refering to the bootable linux disc, then I have tried it, somewhat impressed, but I've only used it once or twice on a rather slow PC.

Try the suse 9.1 live CD.... you cant change most of the settings since it runs off the cdrom and its not writable.

Does it need to reboot or just restart X?

You can't expect a whole lot from an OS running off of a cd.

Knoppix is pretty sweet, it easily was the trend setter for live CD's. But pretty much every distro has a live version now. Some are even designed for very specific purposes, and others are made specifc sizes so that they can fit on mini cdr's and small flash drives. Oh, and yes, you can install a live cd and boot from the flash drive. In fact, I suggest this over a CD since it'll load everything a hell of a lot faster.
Here's THE list of Live CD Distros

Good thing you didn't download Cluster Knoppix and make a DC crunching farm because your probably would have died.
