I have to install Oracle 11g for a class, and even with the G75 and 16GB RAM, running it in Windows XP mode is painfully slow. I would prefer the best 64-bit I can do a "live" install. I will run on a USB stick.
I ran them before on laptops and have a horrible time with the laptop display.
Thanks!

Ever try Knoppix? Its a great live distro, and Klaus Knoppers (the maker, and columnist for Linux magazine) is truly a guru among gurus. Knoppix seems to run all kinds of hardware (as it is based on the very best disto IMHO: Debian), and is really solid.

Please avoid Ubuntu because of the "phone home" for amazon and the high numbers of bugs.

I did some reading about this tonight, and all I gotta say is "wow". That level of privacy invasion is a new level of desperation for any company to take to drum up revenue; I would expect this sort of breaking of trust by microsoft, but the fact that a linux distro is pioneering this is just disgusting. Linux is about freedom from the monopoly of windows, but ubuntu just wants to be just like big brother bill, and take that freedom away. Sheesh.
I second @Zygo's suggestion: avoid ubuntu.
