A “Live Distro” is an operating system that will run from a CD, DVD, Floppy, or USB drive without installation on a hard drive. They access programs and files “on the fly” from a compressed image on the disc. You can save your work and computer settings to a flash drive allowing you to take your "customized system" around with you.

Live Distros are available for the same uses as “regular Distros”, they are just more portable.The most common uses for Live Distros are "rescue disks" and "demo disks" Today there are over 300 live distros based on linux, unix, solaris, and even XP. These distros support all major platforms and cpu architectures.
