Live CD is kinda slow, you might want to use a Live USB instead.

comment wget to download Ubuntu Repo
@AnwarShah, around 40000 packages compiled for both 32-bit and 64-bit aswell as source code. Debian (of which Ubuntu is a derivative) is 73 CDs or 11 DVDs, so expect at least 50 gigabyte.

Why even mount it and create a file. Just write to the device instead.

Are you using 32-bit? Perhaps they were using 64-bit? I don't know, just throwing a wild guess...

comment How to reduce TCP latency for gaming?
That is the latency of the traceroute. It wouldn't ping like that. Also, a ping would measure the round-trip delay of when the packet left my machine to when it got a reply back. However I'm not sure it does take into account that the IP stack can delay sending packets or delay acknowledging that it received a packet.

comment How to reduce TCP latency for gaming?
First hop is 0.1ms. Using wired connection. 100 mbit/s Ethernet. Yes, my computer is good enough for the game. Game server is on same continent, not transatlantic. Game does not run under Wine, it is a native Linux binary. Yes, in this game the ping matters, it does not use interpolation to run smoothly.

Better than press the power button is to hold down Ctrl+Alt+SysRq and type REISUB.

I had this problem too. I had to redo the changes to /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome-classic.session again.
