ubuntu has a nice LIVE CD it found everything on my G4. the tricky part was, yes the VIDEO output for a projector/monitor that was difficult but everything else was easy.

Yes, I can get Live CD's to run (Demudi Live) - but note that I need to dual boot and partition my hard drive correctly, and that was where I got stuck.
Additionally, I couldn't get my wireless working, and without the wireless, I can't get on the net, to look up Google and figure out what's wrong!!!
Also, I couldn't figure out how to access files on my hard drive, through Linux - will Linux even read my Windoze partitioned drives?
The dual-boot is a necessity, I have a lot of important music and other files that I've made with windows software that I really can't give up on. But I'd prefer, at least, to browse the web, and run PD and such, on Linux. Even without audio, if GEM was as stable as people say, it would have some interest for me, when I run live visuals (but can I get the output out of my laptop easy in Linux?)... I'm on a Toshiba Satellite, btw. I think it would be easier, if I had a desktop, but my old one doesn't really work it always freezes (regardless of operating system, must be hard drive or motherboard).

Hallo!
I'm sorry, but - some of you Linux people really don't understand the beginner viewpoint. Linux is not that easy, and some people like me JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND IT! I've tried, 15 minutes to install, no way; more like, 5, or 15 hours, than give up in frustration. And googling, when you don't
Well, try to download e.g. the installer cd from http://kanotix.com ... You cannot tell me that you don't manage to install this when you are able to use a program like pd ...
