The name of compact discs that
contain an operating system and often
other programs that are capable of running on the computer without
having to be installed or the need of a
hard disk drive. Typically these CDs are used as a way for a
user to experience an operating system without having to go through
the hassle of erasing their hard disk drive and installing it. For
example, many Linux distributions are
available in LiveCD format allowing Microsoft
Windows users to experiment with
Linux without having to erase Windows. Many LiveCDs are saved as
an ISO image, which allows a user to
easily create a CD directly from the ISO without having to manually
setup the CD. An example of a LiveCD is the
Anonym.OS
LiveCD, an OpenBSD OS that has been designed to help keep a user
anonymous while on a network and the Internet.
