I use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS for "Desktop" on my Netbook,without issue.The nice thing about a LiveCD is you can try it and check for compatibility issues before actually installing it.

To make sure there is nothing on the USB stick, do a Full format on it.

Tip: CD/DVDs are going the way of the floppy.

A lot of the newer laptops do not come with an optical drive CD or DVD.

Because the world is going streaming.
Neither Windows 8 nor RT support DVD movie playback.
