I want to have a Linux Live CD, my friend let me borrow his when my computer was all messed up and I gave it back. I went to linux to get it to put on a blank CD but I don't know which one I should download. Which one do you guys think I should I get? Here's a link so you can see which there are: http://www.linux.com/directory/Distributions/LiveCD

it looks like a lot of people get NimbleX, would that be a good choice?

Ubuntu?

i searched ubuntu on that page and the only one that has the word ubuntu in it is crunchbag linux, is that what you're talking about? sorry I know nothing about linux really :p

Ubuntu has an awesome live cd, which can be used for pretty much anything!
One of the other most used live cds is Knoppix, you can find it at knoppix.org
If you just want something small and useful though, Damn Small Linux is all you'll need, as its pretty light and fast :p

Yeah, DSL is the best out there imo :)

I currently use Linux Mint

OpenSUSE is great

ubuntu is the best imho

I'm liking Arch.

Ubuntu or Mint will give you the best support and compatibility starting out in Linux, while still giving you some room to customize/grow/learn etc etc.

If you want a live cd I recommend using the knoppix derivative Bactrack 4 here's a link for ya BT4-Final

KDE is a more flashy environment than gnome, but I prefer KDE, but I'm used to gnome and don't really want to switch :p.

KDE feels more like windows btw.

KDE is more Live CD friendly imo, and as I said earlier Backtrack 4 is my number 1 pick for live cds, and it's KDE. I use it to recover data easily of corrupt hdd's or to crack passwords, it has many applications and hasn't let me down yet.
