Linux has a unique property that it can be installed on and run from the most unlikely systems\/devices.  <\/p>\n<p>One of the most useful installs are the Linux Live CD&#8217;s. These are compressed CD images of a complete linux OS and are available for free with almost no restrictions. A lot of the live distro&#8217;s are created with a specific purpose and are fine-tuned for it. <\/p>\n<p>Below is a list of the various Linux Distro&#8217;s and what they specialize in: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href='http:\/\/www.knopper.net\/knoppix\/index-en.html'>Knoppix<\/a>: This is one of the most famous Live Linux distro&#8217;s. It is based on <a href='http:\/\/www.debian.org'>Debian<\/a> and contains over 2 GB of software on one CD. <\/li>\n<li><a href='http:\/\/kanotix.com\/files\/kanotix\/'>Kanotix<\/a>: This is a Linux Live CD based on KNOPPIX technology using mostly pure Debian\/sid. Contains more updated packages than Knoppix.<\/li>\n<li><a href='http:\/\/fire.dmzs.com\/'>F.I.R.E<\/a>: FIRE is a portable bootable cdrom based distribution with the goal of providing an immediate environment to perform forensic analysis, incident response, data recovery, virus scanning and vulnerability assessment. Very Useful<\/li>\n<li><a href='http:\/\/www.linux-forensics.com\/downloads.html'>Penguin Sleuth Kit Bootable CD<\/a>: A GUI based Bootable CD based on KNOPPIX for forensic previewing of live systems with some security and sys admin tools.<\/li>\n<li><a href='http:\/\/sourceforge.net\/projects\/warlinux\/'>War Linux<\/a>: This distro is dedicated to War Drivers. Officially It&#8217;s main intended use is for systems administrators that want to audit and evaluate their wireless network installations but it works great for wardriving also.<\/li>\n<li><a href='http:\/\/www.ultimatebootcd.com\/'>Ultimate Boot CD<\/a>: Not exactly a Live Linux distro but still a pretty useful disk to have in your collection. It allows you to run floppy-based diagnostic tools from CDROM drives. It has loads of tools and has saved my backside a couple of times. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A more complete list of Distro&#8217;s is available at: <a href='http:\/\/distrowatch.com\/dwres.php?resource=cd'>http:\/\/distrowatch.com\/dwres.php?resource=cd<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions please don&#8217;t hesitate to ask. I might not reply immediately but I will try to answer your questions or point you in the right direction (I hope) <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Suramya<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you probably know I a big fan of the Linux OS and find it a lot more useful and stable than Windows.
