I guess I need more information:

1. What distro are you using?
2. Is your computer 32-bit (older) or 64-bit?
3. what CPU/amount of RAM/disc size is in your computer(s)?
4. Are you sure it is not waiting for some input from you to continue?

Let me know (if you want to continue this attempt), and I will try to help.

Ubuntu 12.04 is very stable
I hear good things about Linux MINT
I read that OpenOS4 is friendly for Windows users.

but there are hundreds or thousands of different Linux distributions out there.
