I see on the web page for "live cds", they mention " desktop" , are any of these to be used for laptops? or is "desktop" just the name they use?

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.
did you download the ubuntu iso and burn it? for your live cd?
I actually use a LiveUSB,but the principle is the same.

i haven't bought a stick yet ever, heard the rumor of preloaded malware so i guess a cd or dvd will do\
tks
do you use ubuntu or any others?
To make sure there is nothing on the USB stick, do a Full format on it.Quote:

tks for the info
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.
Unless i misunderstand, win 8 pro does but not win 8?
Am i missing something?

You're welcome.
Not sure what that link is? a quick check of Newegg.ca for a list of Laptops/Notebooks that don't come with an optical drive.
