Live CDs - una manera de elegir tu distribución

Un Live CD te permite probar la última versión estable de KDE SC sin necesidad de instalar Linux ni de cambiar tu instalación de Linux existente. Estas distribuciones se ejecutan completamente desde el CD y no modifican tus discos duros. Por tanto pueden ser probados en un ordenador con Windows sin ningún riesgo. Todos los CDs mostrados a continuación son de descarga gratuita.
