Most people use Microsoft's Windows and have never tried thinking Linux it's too hard that's were Live Linux comes into play it's a perfect start for us beginners, Live Linux allows a user to boot directly for a CD (sometime even from Floppy or a USB Pen) without the need of a format (since it normally runs from your RAM) so this is a perfect even if it's just to mess around and get a fell to what Linux involves it's just a matter of burning it to a CD popping it in the drive and hey presto you have Linux while Windows is sleeping on your hdd Intel Compatible, Some work for AMD systems but not sure how many check each site for more info, i know there's more but this was only what i could find AUSTRUMI http://cyti.latgola.lv/ruuni/index_en.html FREEDUC http://www.ofset.org/freeduc-cd/ Feather Linux (CD/USB Pen) http://featherlinux.berlios.de Morphix http://www.morphix.org/ BeatrIX Linux http://www.watsky.net stresslinux (English, German) http://www.stresslinux.org KNOPPIX (English, Spanish, German) (CD or DVD) http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html STUX GNU/Linux http://arudius.sourceforge.net/ Quantian http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/quantian.html DNALinux http://www.dnalinux.com/ SLAX http://slax.linux-live.org Berry Linux (English, Japanese) http://yui.mine.nu/linux/eberry.html Myah OS http://myah.mymyah.com/ ============================================================ For A Floppy: HAL91 http://chris.silmor.de/hal91/ muLinux http://mulinux.dotsrc.org/ BBI Agent http://www.bbiagent.com/ blueflops http://blueflops.sourceforge.net/ fli4l http://www.fli4l.de/e_index.htm

just tried out Knoppix 4.0.2 as the last one i'd tried was 3.4 also got GameKnoppix 4.0.2-0.3 (2.8GB) but it doesn't work on my laptop, will try that when i get home.. i know this isn't strictly 'Live Linux', just installing Mandriva Linux 2006 (AMD 64 bit version).. i'll be frequenting these Linux forums as much as i can...
hey guys , im fairly new to linux but ive been using UBUNTU 5.10 linux for human beings for a few wks . Ive found it very easy to use especially 4 newbies , also the UBUNTU website sends you 5 copies of both the install and live cd , so if you order do what i did share with everyone and make linux bigger ! and boycott money grabbing M$ well thats my opinon http://www.ubuntu.com thers also damn small linux which is only 50mb in size and designed to boot from usb pen /cd http://damnsmalllinux.org
@Daniel_G Thank you for the offer really appreciate that but am still learning so i don't really no much, still learning from that ebook you sent me @mlinuxko/trock0002 Thanks for the links but i wanted this thread to be the place you can find a direct link to the live Cd's not a thread you have to click a link to click another link (I mean that in a very mellow way plz don't take it the wrong way) If you guys want to pick some out that's not in here and post them that would be great.
