Live CDs - a way to choose your distro/el

Ένα Live CD σου επιτρέπει να κάνεις ένα test drive συνήθως στην τελευταία σταθερή διανομή του KDE SC χωρίς να χρειάζεται να κάνεις νέα εγκατάσταση Linux ή να αλλάξεις την υπάρχουσα εγκατάσταση σου. Οι διανομές αυτές ξεκινούν και τρέχουν αποκλειστικά από το CD και δεν κάνουν καμιά αλλαγή στο σκληρό σου δίσκο. Επομένως, μπορούν να δοκιμαστούν σε έναν Η/Υ που τρέχει Windows χωρίς κανένα ρίσκο. Όλα τα CD που παρουσιάζονται στη συνέχεια είναι ελεύθερα διαθέσιμα για κατέβασμα.
