Connecting to the Internet running on a Linux live CD

My config is decent enough, it's just the HDD which is 80 GB. When I get a new HDD, I'll install Ubuntu.

Then I'd recommend Mint
*www.linuxmint.com/
It worked pretty well on My friends 5th partition in 80GB HDD with 512MB RAM (Updgraded to 1GB Later)
And, it is ubuntu based.

^^Could you tell me more about it? Amount of disk space required, programs available for it, ease of use (which matters since I'm a Linux newbie) etc.

(The above link is about 2 yrs old, but is still relevant)
Its is a Debian based distro, (even Ubuntu is)
Thus it is really easy to use for newbies.
You can consider Mint to be a light version of Ubuntu (this is just to explain in layman's terms)
If you've got 1GB of RAM though, you might as well try giving Ubuntu a spin. If it is sluggish, then go for Mint.
Still, it would be wise to wait for the Linux Pundits to answer.

I've no doubt both Mint and Ubuntu will work in my PC fine. But I just wanted something light. Mint is the answer, thanks for it.
And I think Mint looks better than Ubuntu.
