Linux Fedora 8 Live

So today I went a bought a Linux magazine, which included a live boot CD of the new Fedora 8. The new version is called WereWolf, but why? I have no idea. I just wanted to test it out, see how it ran. Live boot CDs are perfect for trying out a distribution without having to install anything. Simply pop in the disc, restart the computer, and let it do the work.

Pretty much as I expected, Fedora 8 looked pretty good. As with most Linux distributions, it looked pretty. I didn't play around with it much though. Simply checked a few settings and that's about it. Of course, I will check it out again and play more with it, mess more with every settings, check out the included applications, etc. Sadly enough since it is only a live boot CD, my internet wouldn't work on it. Probably because the drivers or none of this are found onto the CD. Anyway it isn't like I need to, since it comes with Mozilla FireFox, which is the browser I use in my everyday life.

I'll post more of my opinion on the newly released WereWolf in the upcoming days, when I've come around playing with it more.

I also downloaded the ISO for the distributions FreeSpire and Ubuntu, made a live boot CD for each of them and will test them out as well. The one I am particularly looking forward to the most is FreeSpire. Ubuntu out to raise my curiosity as it is currently the most popular Linux distribution amongst the users. Oh, and don't worry, it isn't stealing or anything, since all 3 of these are entirely free distributions.
