Ubuntu LiveCD Rocks, period.
I have used boot from CD options before in the past, not like what I see with Ubuntu LiveCD. It has the feeling of Apple's boot from "anything" option (which I love). The whole thing loaded into memory and worked perfectly on my home workstation.
Still having issues with it on my laptop. I cant get it to connect to my wireless network. Which I think is good. Gives me something to troubleshoot on why its not working.
Over the last few days I have backed up my work laptops HDD. I then uninstalled a ton of crap that I didn't need (World of Warcraft isn't crap but didn't need it on my laptop). This gave me alot of space to work with. So I am currently installing Ubuntu 10.10 with Windows 7 Dual Boot.
I chose the option of repartitioning the hard drive within the Ubuntu install menu. I want to learn how this works, why and why it doesnt work, and how Windows 7 will react to the change. I personally would not do this on my Intel I7 Machine.
About 50% through the install it crashed. I feel this is due to my laptop and not the install. Now I am checking my Windows 7 install and see what has happened....States problem with DISK please scan blah blah.. ok Windows 7 loaded, prompt log in and.... and... I am in.
Will try again on the laptop soon.
