8 Linux-based Live CD/DVD and USB Distros For All Occasions

,----[ Quote ]
| If you're new to the Linux or open source 
| community, you might not have heard of live 
| disc or USB distributions yet. They let you 
| run a operating system on PCs without 
| installing anything on the hard drive. It 
| loads directly from the CD/DVD disc or USB 
| flash drive. Many full Linux desktop distros, 
| such as Ubuntu, can be ran in this live mode. 
| However, there are also live distros created 
| for a wide-variety of other specific 
| applications and solutions. Here we'll review 
| several of these. Let's get started!

The Reg guide to Linux, part 1: Picking a distro

,----[ Quote ]
| Debian is the daddy, the basis for Ubuntu, 
| Mepis and others. It's intentionally 
| restricted to only open-source components, so 
| it's a bit more work to get proprietary code 
| such as graphics or wireless network drivers 
| working, or the official versions of Java, 
| Flash and so on. Good for servers if you know 
| what you're doing, but not a great desktop 
| choice unless you're already a guru.
