Giant List Of Linux-based Live CDs

Posted by timothy on from the good-bookmark dept.

nick58b writes "After searching the Internet and not being able to find a list of all available Linux Live CDs, I decided to create one. In its current form, it attempts to makes finding a Live CD easy. There are nearly 100 Live CD distributions listed so far, with functions ranging from clustering to home entertainment, and ISO image sizes from 5 to 702 Megabytes."

    I remember a friend going up to a girl in a bar, opening his wallet, pulling out a business card CD and saying "Get a load of my distro". Let's just say she wasn't interested.

    Interesting that there are two bioinformatics-tailored liveCDs. Now I can BLAST into my work at a remote PC in an instant :)

    Every Tuesday it should rain parachuted bricks of gold in my back yard.

    I'm not sure much is stopping you from making a Live DVD now.

    That page is full of broken links, and it's a little old.
