My new computer is being a pain.
The first cd ever in it was my Ubuntu edgy live cd. It booted up and installed fine. I can't get ANY other live cds to work. I've tried DSL(i forget which version), Puppy seamonkey, luit, and GoblinX. I figured since they weren't that popular, it wasn't that bad for it not to support my hardware.
I just got the gentoo live dvd, though, and it didn't boot either. I figured it should be able to.
DSL, Puppy, and Luit crash to a text shell when I try to boot them. It says it can't find something about Knoppix. Goblin X freezes in the boot screen. Gentoo freezes when it's trying to mount CD to sda (at least I think it freezes. I let it go about 10 minutes). Ubuntu was the only one that "just worked." I don't know much at all about linux, so I didn't mess with any boot options (just ones to make it load directly into RAM. I tried them without that, too)
I hope windows vista works. I'm probably getting the OEM, and you can't return those...
