Karanbir Singh proudly announced a few minutes ago, July 25th, the immediate availability for download of the Live CD and Live DVD ISO images for the recently released CentOS 6.0 operating system.

After the official release of the CentOS 6.0 Linux distribution two weeks ago, on July 10th, we are now proud to announce that Live CD images are also available for anyone who want to try this wonderful operating system without installing.

CentOS 6.0 Live CD is powered by Linux kernel 2.6.32 and the GNOME 2.28.2 desktop environment. It includes popular applications, such as Mozilla Firefox 3.6.9, Mozilla Thunderbird 3.1.3, The GIMP 2.6.9, and Pidgin 2.6.6.

Because of space constraints the CentOS developers could not include all the usual desktop applications, therefore they are available on the CentOS 6.0 Live DVD images (see the download link at the end of the article).

CentOS 6.0 Live comes as CD and DVD ISO images, available for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. CentOS 6.0 Live CD images can now be installed on the local hard drive, but they can also run directly for CD media or USB flash drivers.
