Linux Mandriva and other…?
I tried to run Linux Mandriva on my Computer, but during the boot from the cd I get a message saying:
"Loop image not found, dropping you to a limited shell. Type a command" and then there is a list of commands, but no matter what command I type in, nothing happens.
I ran the cd on a virtual machine and it worked.
I have enough HardDrive space, 512MB RAM, 3.06GHz Intel processor.
I would also like to know what is the best version of Linux I can use instead of windows? I have the latest releases of Ubuntu and Kubuntu which installed and worked on my computer.
Thanks

Did you burn the CD at the lowest possible speed? I have heard this helps reduce errors, but I have never had any problems burning at 8X or 16X. I personally like DreamLinux because it is much faster than Ubuntu.
If you have ubuntu installed on you computer and it works why not go with that?
If you want to try another version go to the link below and click on Distribution Categories and select beginner and submit this will give a list of easy to install easy to use distros. You can choose any distro you like on the site, all are free to download.
