I tried Ubuntu 7.10 and also 8.04.  I'm having an issue with the CD freezing
up in the menu.  After it boots it gives me options to run the LiveCD, Check
the CD, etc.  When I press ENTER it freezes up.  I posted on Ubuntu's forum
and someone mentioned something about:

noapic nolapic

I'll have to search that up, but I don't know what that is.  I did install
OpenSUSE , one time, so the CD drive isn't broken.
