WhyDebianLive

"Why Debian Live?", you may ask. Here are the reasons:
What is wrong with current live systems?

There are already several Debian-based live systems and they are doing a great job. But, from the Debian perspective, most of them have one or more of the following disadvantages:

• They are unofficial projects, developed outside of Debian.
• They mix different distributions, e.g. testing and unstable.
• They support i386 only.
• They change package's behavior and/or appearance by stripping them down to save space.
• They include unofficial packages.
• They ship custom kernels with additional patches not part of Debian.
• They are large and slow due to their sheer size and thus not suitable for rescue issues.
• They are not available in different flavours, e.g. CDs, DVDs, USB-stick and netboot images

Why create our own live system?

Debian is the Universal Operating System: Debian should have an official live system for showing around and to officially represent the true, one and only Debian system with the following main advantages:

• It would be an official Debian subproject.
• It reflects the (current) state of one distribution.
• It runs on as many architectures as possible.
• It consists of unchanged Debian packages only.
• It does not contain any unofficial packages.
• It uses an unaltered Debian kernel-image with no additional patches.

About

The Debian Live project aims to create Debian Live CDs, DVDs, USB-stick and netboot images for the Etch release (and newer).
The guidelines for the development are:

1. only unchanged, official packages
2. no configuration of the live system
3. no live system to harddisk installer
