DVD OF THE MONTH
Linux for your desktop
What is a live DVD?
A live CD/DVD or live disk contains a bootable
operating system, the core program of any computer,
which is designed to run all your programs and manage
all your hardware and software.
Live CDs/DVDs have the ability to run a complete,
modern OS on a computer even without secondary
storage, such as a hard disk drive. The CD/DVD
directly runs the OS and other applications from the
DVD drive itself. Thus, a live disk allows you to try the
OS before you install it, without erasing or installing
anything on your current system. Such disks are used to
demonstrate features or try out a release. They are also
used for testing hardware functionality, before actual
installation. To run a live DVD, you need to boot your
computer using the disk in the ROM drive. To figure out
how to set a boot device in BIOS, refer to the hardware
documentation for your computer/laptop.Solus 3 Gnome
