How to boot from a ISO disk to my laptop?

Q. Okay so i got Linux, Downloaded a new Operating system from Vuze, burned onto a disk, it's an ISO file, How can i boot that disk from my laptop?

A. When you open the disk you should see the file system of the .iso, and the a .iso file. If you see the later, you burnt it wrong.

The other issue is you may have to access the BIOS (about 50% of the time)

I just googled for "Logitech Quickcam Linux" and this was the first hit. Have fun with the installation manual :p

Which is the most popular Linux to download?
Q. I want to download linux to my pc. Which is the best and most popular version to use?

A. To begin with I recommend looking at a LiveCD.

There are two worth taking an immediate look at being Linux Mint 6 and Ubuntu 9.04

Linux is now in a position of offering a viable alternative to proprietary platforms and more than capable of offering a full desktop experience.

You download the ISO. image of either Linux Mint 6 or Ubuntu 9.04 then you need to create a Bootable CD from the ISO. This can easily be done using Nero Burning ROM or similar software. Linux Mint 6 and Ubuntu 9.04 can also be run straight from the LiveCD you have created without touching your Hard Drive.
