Scientific Linux Live CD is a bootable CD/DVD that runs Linux directly from CD/DVD without installing. This Live CD is based on Scientific Linux 4, which is recompiled from RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 sources.

Scientific Linux Live CD uses the Unification File System (unionfs) which allows read-only filesystem to behave as a writable one and squashfs providing on-the-fly decompression that allows to store 2GB software on a normal CD-ROM. The Live CD/DVD was build using modified scripts from www.linux-live.org.

The Scientific Linux Live CD/DVD can be used to setup a server for Diskless Client. The diskless clients will run Scientific Linux without a local Linux installation getting the operation system over the network (via NFS).

Included software:

■ Kernel 2.6.9 ■ AFS Client ■ Xorg 6.8.2 ■ ALSA sound drivers ■ KDE 3.3.1 ■ Icewm 1.2.20 ■ GIMP 2.0.5 ■ Evolution 2.0.2 ■ OpenOffice.org Suite 1.1.2 ■ Sun JDK 1.4.2 ■ K3b ■ HelixPlayer ■ XMMS ■ Mozilla Firefox ■ Mozilla Thunderbird ■ Mozilla Mail ■ Gpdf ...and many more!
