I have a copy of Mandriva Powerpack 2007 on my flash drive downloaded from pendrive linux and it boots live off of the flash drive, so I think you should add mandriva based to the list of live distrobutions. Also what about zonbu. You can download and burn a Zonbu live boot disk from their website here here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hintss ( talk • contribs) 19:21, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
This is a list of Live Distros, which is a generic term for an operating system distribution that is executed upon boot, without installation on a hard drive.
Shouldn't it be just "List of Live Discs"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fresh0razoR ( talk • contribs) 09:19, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
Problem: "System Folder of Mac OS on a CD or on a floppy disk" is listed alongside OSx86 and BootCD from Charlessoft for Mac OS X Mac OS is a very different Operating System than OS X, and in fact there is a good technical argument to list OSX under "BSD-derived." or even "NeXT derived" From a commercial and perhaps "laymen's" standpoint, BootCD and OSx86 are both for Macintosh labelled systems from Apple etc, etc. So, for accuracy's sake, I am separating out Mac OS. For clarity's sake I will create a Mac OS X section, so the "average" reader can identify these distributions with the Apple Macintosh computer line. Cuvtixo ( talk) 17:04, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Wait... doesn't Google Android somewhat count as a Live CD? Could that be added to the list? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.38.170.92 ( talk) 07:24, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

A recent new addition to the list was reverted and removed with the reason citing the lack of a Wikipedia article associated with it. Should this be a prerequisite for entries on the list? I don't think so. There may be other reasons the entry is questionable, but a presence elsewhere on Wikipedia as a reason to exclude entries is too insular.

Wikipedia encompasses many lists of links to articles within Wikipedia that are used for internal organization or to describe a notable subject. In that sense, Wikipedia functions as an index or directory of its own content. However, Wikipedia is not a directory of everything in the universe that exists or has existed. [...]
Thank you for responding in Talk, although I'm not feeling the love when I'm called a liar or my right to participate is questioned. I was making this entry in Talk when you checked earlier - I should have saved the entry first, before reverting your deletion. But to call me a liar is not justifiable.
The principle in Wikipedia is collaboration, not deletion of contributions without explanation, or based on rules the editor has presumed from his or her own logic.
I am not the original contributor of the entry you deleted earlier, by the way, and am open to reasoning for its deletion - but not just because it doesn't have a Wikipedia article associated with it. Oogbus ( talk) 21:00, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Nowadays, live CDs are rare; live USBs are much popular (more space, and unlike CDs, you can also write on the drive). Besides, the current Live CDs list actually has distros that only use live USBs. We should create a new list or modify/update this one. 151.37.142.211 ( talk) 08:17, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
