Q. Or can all linux distro do almost the same if you know the terminal command or scripts? For example if i wanted to do some penetration test with back track but i want to surf the wow anonymously with incognito? Do i have to do them seperately or can i kinda combine them together in one.
A. Terminal commands in almost all Linux distributions are the same commands. Penetration Testing (Forensic) Linux distributions do not make a very good desktop, for everyday use. It doesn't make very much sense to do it on your own hard drive. In most Linux distributions, I believe in the package management program you can find anonymous browsing software to install. And yes one Linux in general can be over bloated with software to your desire.
Which Linux distro is best to install to hard disk rather than running from CD or USB?
Q. I'm looking for a linux distro that can be installed directly onto my laptop's hard drive rather than burning the ISO files to a Live CD or USB drive. I have never used Linux before and plan to have dual boot alongside my Windows 7 installation. For this, is it better to go with Ubuntu or Zorin?
A. For starters, you'll have to copy the ISO to a disc or USB for installation regardless of which you choose.
Ubuntu and it's many spin-offs like Mint, Zorin, or Pinguy, are all fine beginner distros; the main differences will be desktop UI (Ubuntu=Unity, Mint=Cinnamon, Zorin=faux Windows, Pinguy=modified Gnome 3 using docks), default software selection (Ubuntu comes with less software than the others, and each has their own favorite apps, Mint electing to use Banshee while Ubuntu ships Rhythmbox), and whether Flash and media codecs come preinstalled (Ubuntu no, the others yes).
My advice would be to try out all the distros on your shortlist in either Live mode (USBs are handy for this) or a virtual machine, and see which one you prefer, since most of the differences come down to personal preference (which app do you like vs the others, what suits your workflow best) rather than there being one objective "best" choice. One key advantage of Linux is the ability to easily test drive unfamiliar distros before wasting your time...use this advantage.
My personal recommendation to newbies is almost always Linux Mint. Mint 13 is well worth a look.

How do I know which MP3 players can boot a linux live cd?
Q. My current mp3 player cannot be used to boot a linux distro, it seems, after a few approaches.
So, I'd like to know which MP3 players can boot a linux distro when plugged into a PC (live cd).
Even better, how can I tell that an MP3 player is bootable in this way? There seems to be no mention of this possibility in any round-up guides, or in the specs.

A. Some might be able to do micro C linux (uCLinux), but not can boot from any live CD that I know of. Some Tablets with a ARM processor can run Ubuntu, but the isntall is a bit weird. You have to root the device and then write a Ubuntu user space onto the drive, but leaver the kernel and boot loader intact.
RockBox offers OSS firmware that can run on many MP3 players, improving their functionality.
