I can't even get ubuntu 11 to boot from the CD, actually.
I might not want to try putting it on one of my CDs yet then I guess.

Just checked it out, but in the virtual machine I saw (in Youtube) it didn't look so lightweight, it actually took a while to load.

It runs pretty well on a P3 with less than half a GB of ram. Definitely faster than ubuntu. Plus it has all the restricted codecs installed and a working g++. I could not for the life of me get g++ to work on any version of ubuntu.

What distro do you want. Look at the list above and comments for names. You might want to research before deciding. If you go to ditrowatch select one of the top ten(If you don't like any of those you might want to ask) click on it and there should be a download link. Download it then you need software like imgburn. Click burn image select your CD make sure it has enough space then sit back and feel like a god.
To load from disk you need to get to the boot menu and select boot from CD

But to load from a flash drive, you just need that program you told me about on OmnimagaOS, right?

Get Unetbootin: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/. There are guides on how to use it there.
