Linux live and kicking (vnunet) [LWN.net]

Vnunet suggests the use of CD-based Linux distributions for evaluating Linux. "Though different live options target different markets, most offer more or less automatic network configuration and a graphical desktop environment with supplied office suites, browsers and applications. There's also mileage in live distributions for the experienced user. It's possible to customise some live variants, burn them to a fresh CD and use them as a portable, instant personalised Linux environment with a writeable home directory stored on a USB memory key."
