Live OSes?
« on: 3 November 2003, 02:20 »
What are some live operating systems?  I already have Knoppix and I'm Downloading SuSE Live, but are there anymore?  I'd like to try something that is not Linux too.

I recommend BeOS. It's much simpler to use than Linux.

Um, is that a live OS?

I couldn't find it saying it was anywhere.

how could i forget slackware live?
incidentally, slackware live is not from the same maintainer as slackware and zipslack, which might be confusing to begin with.

gah! here: look at section 1.2:
http://www.ranting.org/distros.pdf
(note from Orethrius: link is dead, no forwarding address)

there's quite a few we didn't mention yet, like the BBC (bootable business card) and Damn Small Linux (which i haven't tried yet). also Floppix i liked, the site has tons of floppix tutorials, but it is purely educational since it has no capability of accessing your hard drive (for newbies, this is supposedly a feature)

Now there is Mandrake Move too.

(note from Orethrius: Mandrake Move is now Mandriva Linux One)

Another Slackware based one called SLAX featuring KDE 3.2 Beta 2 and KOffice 1.3 Beta 2.

And who is the judge of this. To a person familiar with enterprise unix, linux is easier. To a person who likes simple installs Linux is still easier. Ever try Lindows? Makes life simple.

Microsoft is not the answer.
Microsoft is the question.
"No" is the answer!
The nice thing about Windows is - It does not just crash, it displays a dialog box and lets you press 'OK' first.
