Not all are live Distros. Most are but you do not understand what I said. I built the system for that company. It is very security demanding. The system count And times the run time of all drives. Not only the HD but the CD/DVD drives to. Among with any saves and to what drive. Only way I could bid on that contract. Government requirements. I needed some thing that would load to ram and run from ram.
I am trying to convince management to switch to Linux as their OS. Will know tomorrow if I have clearance to bring my laptop to do an clean install of Linux. If you have any other suggestions, I am open to them. david On Wed, Jan 11, 2012 at 9:49 PM, g.linuxducks <[email protected]>wrote: > ** > > > All of Linux distros are "Live Distros" meaning they all pop in and run > only the demo mode without installing anything and allow you to use > Linux in a limited fashion to decide whether to install it right from > the demo ' "Live Distro".
