Çalışan CD'ler - dağıtımınızı seçmenin bir yolu
Bir Çalışan CD genellikle KDE SC'nin en son kararlı sürümünü Linux kurulumu yapmadan veya mevcut Linux kurulumunuzu değiştirmeden deneme sürüşü yapmanıza izin verir. Bu dağıtımlar tamamen CD'den önyüklenir ve çalıştırılır; ayrıca sabit disklerinizde değişiklik yapmaz. Böylece bir Windows bilgisayarda hiçbir risk olmadan denenebilir.
