The Smorgasbord

Here’s another nice resource I found stumbling around, a list of 315 Linux Live CD’s for download. LiveCD’s are great because you don’t have to install anything on your computer to run a complete operating system. Nice to use as a guest on someone else’s pc, but more importantly it’s a great way to try out a Linux distribution without having to install it on the hard drive. This list is sorted by number of votes, so the more popular ones are on the top. Also - if you’re into Linux you may not realize how many different kind of distros are out there. Like ones specifically for education, gaming, medical, security, home entertainment. You may be surprised to find out though, that many liveCD’s contain tools for specific purposes. Like computer forensic tools, firewall tools, diagnostic utilities, data recovery, server clustering, and of course OS replacement. Download a couple and try a new version of Linux today!
