Brainwagon Radio: Live Linux CDs!

Business card CD blanks can hold 50Mbytes, enough to boot Damn Small LinuxAnother mobile podcast, recorded with my Dell Axim x50v PDA and Resco Audio Recorder. This morning I chat a bit about various LiveCDs on Linux, and muse about the possibility of a specialized LiveCD for podcasting.

Links from the show:

  • Knoppix is probably the best known Linux LiveCD. Daniel Barlow’s Linux Journal article talks about mastering your own version of Knoppix.
  • Damn Small Linux is a bit more petite, and therefore a bit cuter. It fits on one of those business card sized CD blanks like the one pictured on the right.
  • dynebolic is more idiosyncratic, but targets music and media applications.
  • geexbox turns your PC into a media player.
  • I’ve also had good experience with Ubuntu, which also has a LiveCD.
