Hello Lemon,

There are many different Linux distributions that run from CD (Live-CD).

You can find all the different Linux flavors at http://www.distrowatch.com

I myself use Fedora Core 2 Linux, which is not a Live-CD version.

With kind regards,

Richard

P.S. Linux questions are welcome

hi'

lemon, I understand that you are happy to "present" a "new" thing...

but, you know, it's on since a while already ... mandrake made one years ago,

and now we have more than 30 distro's like this.

I use 2 of them as diagnostic cd for any platform, like chromonium, or bbc ...

the best of "live-cd" could be mandrake and knoppix like you mention.

a good way to have a taste of Linux before to choose

good advice anyway

cheers

thanks to you both for the info - i realize that this isnt such a new thing,,,it's just that this version runs so beautifully on all the machines i've tried it on with no probs at all...

Knoppix has become well known as the one bootable CD Linux that finds ###### near every component in a computer where other linux distrobutions fail.
