Linux Live CDs

Posts Tagged ‘life’

I’ve been using windows all my life and a bit of dos when i was realy small. Not that i’m in university doing computer science i was wondering if i should change to linux.
I’ve looked at a few distros and tried a few live cds. I like linux but every where i look i get the same reasons why to use linux. So give me one reason i cannot find at http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/ and i will strat using linux!!!

By the way is there a linux for programmers??? I prefer C/C++

I have heared that formatting reduces the life of harddisk. Let us suppose I have a virus on my harddisk or my windows is curropted. I want to erase all data from my harddisk including hiddden folder and files like System Volume Information without formatting it. So that I can install windows what should I do? I have NTFS volume. Do u know any live CD linux which supports NTFS filesysystem? I think it will help me to erase data from my HDD.
