One of my friends turned me on to linux not too long ago, and I'm interested in getting my computer to dual boot with Kubuntu. Eventually I plan on switching over to Kubuntu completely, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
I have a very basic knowledge of some console commands, having run a Linux server for various things through SSH. I dont really know much terminology though, so please bear with me.
Anyway, I downloaded the Athlon64 LiveCD (my CPU is a 3500+) and tried booting from it. After the initial loading screen, where it lists everything that is being loaded, I come to another, identical loading screen and it hangs. I ran the... thing :-X to check the CD for errors, and it was fine. I tried the X86 version of the LiveCD as well, with the same results. I also tried Ubuntu, and it gave me a very similar problem.
So does anyone have any suggestions? I really want to try this out, and am not to excited about any other distros.
