The Live CD is a CD that contains a complete, operable operating system that can be run from the CD simply by booting from it. They don't usually affect the existing operating system that is installed on the hard disk though some versions may write to the hard disk, so changes can be saved. There are a number of Linux versions which can be had in Live CD versions, of which Knoppix (Debian based) was the first and Ubuntu (in various forms) is one of the most popular.

You can read more about Live CDs here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_CD

The Ubuntu site is here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu

In order to create the bootable CD, you will need a CD-RW drive and software to allow you to write the supplied ISO to disk. You can also order the CD from the site but this, of course, is not free.

The Ubuntu Live CD contains a complete operating system, a browser and various other applications, including a version of Open Office. One simply puts the CD in the drive and starts the computer and, provided your BIOS is set to boot from CD if available, Linux starts as an alternative and completely separate OS. Since Ubuntu can access and modify NTFS disks, this can be very useful (if you know what you are about) in dealing with and managing virus infections and corrupt disks.

Thank you for the information. Downloading and writing on the disk will be easy. Does Ubuntu has any minimum hardware requirement?
