[no subject]

I'm not very versed in this subject because typically I've only used
Live CD's to either rescue a system or test a system's compatibility.

I am interested because my father has XP on his PC and I want to boot up
Linux and use it over Christmas.  Normally I use cygwin to give me X and
the unix look and feel.  He has USB 802.11g so finding a Live CD that
supports that might be tricky.
