A LiveCD is a special version of Ubuntu (or Linux in general) that is built to run only off the CD without needing to be installed. This makes a great tool to test hardware, do system recovery or show new people Ubuntu. As of Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake), you can also install off the LiveCD.
Downloading the LiveCD

Using the LiveCD
After you burn the cd (See BurningIsoHowto for help if needed), pop it into any computer and reboot the computer. Ubuntu will load. After you are done, shut the computer down and remove the cd.
