Hi all,

I am looking for a distribution of Ubuntu (or any other Linux distribution) with OpenOffice and FireFox to use as a LiveCD/DVD. The reason I am going to try out Linux is last week my system got screwed up and this week a friend of mine's system got screwed up. Right now I am fixing her laptop but it is no biggie.

No we are not giving up Windows Vista at least she is definitely not because she needs it for school and so do I.

I do, however, want to see what Ubuntu is like and backing up a ton of files from the command prompt is no fun even with XCOPY. Also a year ago someone in one of my classes had a Dell laptop that he installed Ubuntu on which looked cool but I did not really spend much time with it.

Thanks in advanced.

Ubuntu desktop comes with OpenOffice.org and Firefox on the live CD.

Version 8.04 has OpenOffice.org 2.4 and a slightly older version of Firefox because it is now a year old.

Ubuntu 9.04 will be released later this month and should include the latest versions.

What are the full system specs of the systems you plan to run ubuntu on?

Good luck :)

Of course Firefox will update once you get onto the Internet anyway. I can't remember if it uses version 2.x or 3.x though.

Mint is good, but it still has that annoying GNOME problem whereby you can't change the number of lines scrolled each time you move the wheel :( That's the one thing I find really nice about KDE, you can change it easy. Everything else about KDE kinda annoys me (at least KDE4.x anyway). :lol:
