Hi! I spotted this Linux distro today, and it is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. (I run a little Minecraft server on a tower pc i have). A Linux version made specifically for hosting an MC server. So, I download it, and start it on my main pc in a VM. Works great, i can access it through the web ui, started a test server, and joined it. No lag too! 
So, I download a fresh version (because idk if using it with a VM would have effected it or not), and burn it to a rewriteable cd (using an ISO burner, not a regular burner), pop it in my MC server computer's cd tray, and restart the computer. I hold F11 like you do, and select the cd drive from the boot menu. In a few seconds, the Linux TurnKey startup screen comes up. So first, I select a "Live Boot": to test it out again. It *looks*, to me, like it is starting up. Hundreds of lines of code flash across the screen. So, I sit here for a while, doing other stuff, and after about 15 minutes of the server computer scrolling through lines of code, nothing has started up. So, just to be safe, I wait another 15 minutes, and still nothing. Though it seemed to be flashing relatively the same code. (Let me know if it would be helpful to do it again and video record the repeating code, because I don't remember exactly what it was.) So, I hard-stop the computer, and try to boot again from the cd. It instead boots from the harddrive and loads Windows XP (the original OS). So, I download it again (getting to be annoyed now), empty the cd, and re-burn it to the cd. Load it in the server computer again, boot from cd, and this time I just try to install it. Same thing happens.
Anyone know what's going wrong?
Also, if you need more information, please ask, because i'm not sure what to put.
Thanks so much!
