I'm looking forward to testing linux out to see if I really like it. I've downloaded 5 or 6 different Live Cd's only to find that they dont work and stop during the boot somewhere. Does anyone know of a 64-bit live cd distro that works?

Which ones have you tried?
There's a Knoppix 64: http://www.applia.fr/contents/knoppix64.html
I have never tried it though.

But I have.

14 minutes to install. Cloning partitions at 50Mb/s speed (XP as well!) so moving a 5Gb Linux around is 100 second job. Can resize NTFS partitions too.

One of my favourites.

In general, a user should have little problem to get Slax, Ubuntu, Knoppix, Kantotix, Puppy, Mepis... up and running as a Live CD. All 32-bit distros should work on in 64-bit machine but not the other way round.

In developing my 100+ system thread I have them run on a 32-bit machine and them moved all of them to a 64-bit PC. Think I had to re-install about 3 to 4 of them but that was more to do with the structure of the distros (some of their Lilo can only boot after a new install).

The knoppix 64 download is a broken link. I've been looking for a site that has it for a while now. I've tried KANOTIX, Kubuntu, Ubuntu, Mandrake, and gentoo.

32-bit on 64 huh? Wish i would have known that earlier

Thanks,
