Hi!
I'd go for Ubuntu. You need not to copy the contents of the CD to your hard drive. If you want to install it, use the installation CD. If you don't have one, go to the Ubuntu web page and ask for one (free). You can request the free CD's (they usually send more than one) by running the Live CD (this CD you have since you run it from CD Drive). Using the browser installed go to http://www.ubuntu.com
Voila! Ubuntu stands for: Humanity to others! Good luck!

I'd go for Ubuntu.
Damn Small Linux is more for experts who want to produce specialist computing systems.
Some other good choices would be Fedora:
http://fedora.redhat.com/
or Mandriva:
http://www.mandriva.com/
To download, you will need to have a computer system already running. You can then burn the ISO image for use in any other computer.
You can also get pre-made CDs of Ubuntu for free, if you have no computer knowledge whatsoever:
