Does the desktop live environment have to be ubuntu? I have a live linux desktop (e.g., linux mint) on a USB stick, but it's not ubuntu. Would that work?

But it crashes whenever I tried to update the kernel to 3.2.0-65.99 or higher (including 14.04.2 LTS). So somewhere between 3.2.0-29.46 and 3.2.0-65.99, changes to the kernel caused my PC to crash (note: I have not tried kernels older than 3.2.0-65.99, so I don't know the exact version that started to cause the crash). I think this is likely a hardware compatibility issue since I could not find any system logs regarding the crashes. My PC is very old (Compaq Evo D510 SFF/07E4h, BIOS 68602 v2.14 08/15/2002), so I am not sure if this bug is worth troubleshooting. In the meantime, I am happy with the performance of my PC running 3.2.0-29.46. But if anyone is interested in troubleshooting this bug, please let me know.
