I want RUN LINUX from the CDROM ...

Hi lse123

The best way of running linux is by downloading a LiveCD. This will be running of the RAM of the machine, and only storing temporary files to the HardDisc, which is wiped after each sessions.

Some linux distros I suggest going with is:
ubuntu
slackware

Hope this helps!

boot Linux from cdrom
When I boot Linux from cdrom, I may save files[data] to usb flash drive ?
If yes, to the same usb flash drive I may save and windows files or drive is special for Linux[no use by other OS] ?
usb flash drive(bootable usb drive)
May Install(&Save) additional Apps myself to usb flash drive(bootable usb drive) for running an other time (RUNNING WITHOUT INSTALLATION) ?
If yes from how run at later time this Apps ? run the executable file in usb drive letter/folder ?

With a LiveCD, its the same as an operating system which is saved on a HDD. You can create files, or maybe (might need a bios upgrade) boot from a flashdrive. I'm sure Ubuntu will allow this. Windows files (such as .exe) will be able to be saved on the flashdrive, but you cannot run them except if you have a windows emulator, such as WINE.

I don't know if you can install new applications when you are running from a LiveCD, but you can atleast downooad them. The way you would execute these files is by using either a Quicklaunch application which usually comes with the LiveCD or run it by the commandline.
