Only $4.95 per Disc (CD or DVD) + Delivery!


It's True! You can try many Linux Distros Without Touching Any Hard Drive!
Simply put the Live-CD in your drive, reboot, and have hours of fun looking around! Safe and simple!

You can then Install Your Choice on Free Space on your Windows (or other) Drive!

Please Note: Some Live CDs do in fact cache to your hard drive, but then delete any temporary files when finished.
Also note that unfortunately not all Live CDs will work on all hardware configurations, especially on older computers.


"Do I get ALL of these distros on the one disc?"

Are you kidding?! (This may seem humourous to most of you, but I do get asked!)

If you're new to all this, you have to understand that each Linux distribution is an operating system that can barely fit on a disc, and most are actually 2Gb or more compressed (those on DVD are even larger).

"Do I get ALL of these discs for $4.95?"

Um... NO - I couldn't even buy all the blanks needed for that price!

Once again, I do occassionally get asked! Unfortunately, that would mean running at a huge loss, for this involves weeks of downloading, verifying images, burning them onto discs, verifying the discs, and printing onto them - not to mention the cost of discs, ink, and eBay and PayPal fees!

Please note: 1 Item = 1 Disc (CD or DVD)
To buy more, just change the "Quantity" when purchasing. Click here for Delivery Prices.


You can also use many Live CDs to:

Test your Memory Chips (RAM) for Faults!
