Why You Need to Have a Linux LiveCD
As a longtime fan of Linux, I'm a big believer that most business users would benefit greatly by dumping Windows and switching over to the open source operating system instead. It's stable, it's reliable and it's highly secure, among many other advantages.
What many people don't realize, however, is that even if you choose not to do that, there are still many reasons to keep a copy of Linux close at hand. Most Linux distributions are available in LiveCD, Live DVD or Live USB format, either sold commercially that way or downloadable so that users can make their own.
OSDisc.com is one place to buy live versions of Linux in one of these formats. Alternatively, the LiveCD List offers a list of downloads along with links, ratings and requirements, while UNetbootin focuses on USB drives. However you do it, what the resulting media have in common is that they contain a whole, bootable operating system that does not need to be installed on the hard drive.
How could this be useful to your business? Let's look at a few ways.
