You cannot install linux on a Chromebook, you can only run it as a chroot.
There is no reason why a Linux OS (of any distro) can not be used without an internet connection. Provided that either an Linux type OS is downloaded and written as an IOS on a CD (for one example) to be used as a live CD with the options of trying or installing. Or you have been given the install disk, so not needing the internet! There are many operating systems and therefore, many opinions on what distro is the "best"! Have a look at Linux Mint or Ubuntu - my choice!
Depending on your OS or Linux distro, there should be a package for GD (something like GD lib)

Linux Mint is the best distro in my opinion because it is easy to use and you can use any desktop environment for it, but really what distribution you use is up to your needs if you have certain needs you might need a different distro. As for Windows I do not really use windows on any home machines because of viruses and other security problems, but the best release of windows in my opinion is Windows XP because it can still run on older hardware, and it will give new hardware a boost.
The best Linux OS in customer reviews appears to be the Mint. Several reviewers recommend it as one of the best systems to install and use on your desktop.
I'd go with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).
The best OS for hackers is Backtrack Linux 5.
One of the best examples of Open Source Operating Systems is Linux. It is based on the UNIX operating system, is used by most major banks, has a level of security based on over 40 years of experience, and depending on which version or distro you get its free.
There is insufficient detail to determine what Linux distro, if any, is being used in Die Hard 4. In fact, the logo at the bottom of the monitor would indicate that it is running on a Mac, and thus is possibly a future version of Mac OS X.
No. Java (a programming language), is not a prerequisite for learning how to use any mainstream operating system (such as Windows, Mac OS, or Linux).
WIndows Vista or Linux OS would have the best protection.
