I would use a Debian-based CD just because the differences between Debian and non-Debian are enough that if you do find the need to use it to rescue your installation, you'll want something familiar.

Non-Debian distros are typically RPM-based--though not all. RPM is a very different package manager than dpkg and could mess up your system even more if you have to install (or re-install) software during the rescue process. Directory structures are also slightly different, as well as what could be stored in the different directories.

I have not tried the Star Trek web site. Can you post a link so I can try it out?

BTW- The CD-DVD burner the Ubuntu 12.04 came with is crap, why didn’t they have it come with that other one, K3E or whatever its called?
