Debian Live
,----[ Quote ]
| It can be run directly from CD, DVD or USB-stick without installing it on
| hard drive. Knoppix, developed by Klaus Knoppers, was one of the first
| Live-CD distros based on Debian packages. However, since the beginning of
| 2006 Debian Project has been working on its own Live version. Despite shared
| basis between two projects, Debian Live aims to bring real power to the
| users: support for many architectures, manual selection of packages included
| on disk, availability of individually patched kernels and much more.

Review: Elive 0.6.5
,----[ Quote ]
| I definitely liked Elive. It is a fully functional distribution based
| on the Enlightenment desktop. The live CD configuration and setup is
| definitely among the best I have used. Giving me the ability to use
| the Nvidia binary drivers was an excellent feature of the distribution.
|
| Being based on Debian makes the system easy to update and install
| new applications. You also know the underpinnings of the
| distribution are solid since it is based on Debian.

Who needs Windows Vista when you can have Knoppix 5.1.1 Live DVD?
,----[ Quote ]
| Well, in the first place there is no comparison between the two.
| In fact, there can't be any. Why? Simply because, Windows Vista
| is plain Operating system, with very little bundled apps. Whereas,
| Knoppix is complete Operating System bundled with hundreds of
| software that ranges from games to office!
|
| When you install Windows Vista (it requires whopping 6.7GB hard
| disk space at a bare minimum!), what you will get is - much hyped
| 3D aqua Desktop, a so-called secure operating system that bugs you
| to hell - by asking for every stupid task to Continue. In addition
| to that, It had about a dozen utilities such as paint, notepad,
| wordpad and a few games.
