With the release of the Puppy Linux 3.0 last week, live CD is again the hot topic in the Internet. So why use a Live CD? What are the benefits of using it?
The first time that i read the news about the release of Puppy Linux 3.0, i immediately downloaded a .iso of it and burn it. And in a few seconds of booting, i am now in front of a Linux OS even without installing. And in a short time of using it, i already loved it.
There are lots of different Linux distro live CD out there, but Puppy Linux can run even on a slow machine like DamnSmallLinux (a.k.a. DSL). I have tried Puppy Linux on a machine with a 500MHz Celeron Processor and with only 128MB of ram but Puppy Linux run smoothly. I have surf the Internet and typed a document using abiword.
After using Puppy Linux, i have realized the importance of having a Live CD in hand. Here are some of my top reasons of using a Live CD.
- Live CD can act as an alternative to your OS if ever it wont boot.
- A computer can be use even without hard disk by using a live CD.
- You can still use a very old computer.
- No session of your computing can be saved.
- You can use it even without installing.
- It's totally free!
You, what are the benefits you get from using a Live CD?
