Hello,

   This is the first beta release of Conectiva Linux Live CD.
   It's based on CL 10 (hint: it's very stable) plus kernel 2.6.8 rc2
and squashfs 2.
   This beta is coming in two flavors: kde and gnome.

Work in progress:

   - support to save profiles
   - tools for remastering (just install your favorite packages and
     burn a new CD)
   - a version based on CL snapshot (the bleeding edge)

Our vision:

   Technology Test Drive. Live CD is a great tool to enhance the quality
of free software. Think about thousands of users testing the
new versions of KDE, Gnome and the kernel, without the need to upgrade
or reinstall a system.

Download:

   - standard kde 3.2.3 installation plus ConectivaOffice 1.1.2
