Thumbs up Debian Live CD's-do you know they exist?

"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

CD images are available for GNOME,xfce,kde etc
