Hi I am working from a hotel room and have good amount of spare time on weekends. Can anyone suggest a suitable linux live cd whereby i can work on linux and save documents on to my laptop and most important learn programming. I am on a ibm t41 laptop. I have some books from where I can learn programming

any other alternative similar to livecd also will be useful

Why dont you try Ubuntu Dapper Live CD? On Thinkpads, ubuntu supports all the hardware. Though you might want to make sure that RAM is more than 256 atleast.

Knoppix CD/DVD will be good. Puppy Linux is another distro you can look to. You can burn it in multisession mode and save the configuration files as well as your work on the CD. It offers saving of the session when you reboot. This also helps in adding more apps later on. It is just a 60 MB CD to start with. Also, slax is good live CD. As an alternative to live cd, you can boot from USB stick, quite a few distros like slax run from USB drive. SInce you can have USB drives offer higher capacity and saving files. I haven't used them personally so don't know how well do these distros from USB drive perform.
