Break the reboot cycle. Use Linux.
,----[ Quote ]
| You may have noticed that I have been quiet for the last couple of days. The
| reason is I have been working on a windows computer, trying to fix it.
| Reformatting and reloading was an option but the pain and time taken to
| reconfigure the thing was prohibitive. Besides I knew what the problem was
| and I could fix it.

First time on Fedora Live CD
,----[ Quote ]
| Live CDs are commonly used by end users who only requires a web browser,
| instant messenger or an Office suite. It may be nice if the Fedora community
| takes steps to include OpenOffice in the Live CDs so that it can gain more
| popularity among end users.

Put your Linux Distro on a Live CD
,----[ Quote ]
| An oddity of open source operating systems is the Live CD. It’s not something
| you’re likely to see coming out of Redmond or Cupertino any time soon, but
| for a few years now many Linux distros and versions of BSD have given this
| option. Recently, Live DVDs and Live USB have cropped up as well. These live
| systems are full versions of the operating system that run completely from
| the given medium. Which means you can carry them in your pocket and use them
| on other computers. They do not, by default, touch the hard drive, so they
| are completely safe to use.

Linux Live CDs: A Convenient Approach to Personal Computing
,----[ Quote ]
| The choice of an operating system often results from the perceived ease with
| which these tasks can be accomplished. I would like to focus on Linux Live
| CDs as a way for an individual computer user to simplify computing. Live CDs
| started out as a marketing tool for different Linux “distributions” (or
| distro). A distribution in simple terms is a customized version of Linux. It
| is created by compiling and packaging software components geared towards a
| certain type of usage. All Linux varieties we see are certain distributions
| developed by a group of people or companies. They can choose the distribution
| to be commercial or free, general purpose or highly specialized.

Secure web browsing through Live Linux distros
,----[ Quote ]
| Banking isn't the be-all and end-all: there's many other reasons you'd
| want a secure system, separate from what's on the hard disk, besides
| Internet banking. Traveller's can't necessarily trust the integrity of
| a computer in an Internet cafe.

Top 10 Linux FUD Patterns, Part 2
,----[ Quote ]
| Nothing, however, beats seeing it in action! Remember what I said about first
| impressions? Live CDs are very useful weapons against FUD. They allow
| potential users to test drive the OS, to try before “buying”. This helps
| prove to some that Linux has come a long way in terms of automatic hardware
| detection and other features that make it user friendly. It’s also much
| easier than going to the extent of configuring a dual-boot system. The
| downside is, they can be a bit slow under certain conditions. If a friend has
| a Linux system already installed, it may be better to try that out instead.
