We all know about downloading a Linux live CD and burning it to a disc or running it in Virtualware - but what about building your own unique, customised live CD on the Web and then downloading and burning it? Cool! Well, follow the links in this story and allow Nimblex to do all the hard work for you.

As some of you may know, Linux is not the only Unix-like operating system available. There are other UNIX derivatives, and one of the most popular among them is called BSD. If you have been to Distrowatch, you will see different BSD distributions listed in there.I have said before that I'm interested in trying BSD distros, but until now I still can't find the time to do it.

It's been a year and a half or so since my last Puppy Linux review. Then, I tested Puppy 2.1. Today, Puppy has reached version 4.1 - and boy, has it grown.

K3B is the official CD/DVD authoring tool for Linux KDE desktop. It allows you to create, burn, copy, CD’s and DVD’s. Create audio CD/DVD, Data discs perform disc-to-disc copies, it also includes a DVD ripping function.

Phoenix Software and Nero have announced that Nero Linux 3 is now available in South Africa. Nero Linux 3 offers Blu-ray disc and HD DVD data burning support.

Roll up Puppy Linux. Yet Another Linux Distro!?! No, it's not just another distro, this one is different and this is why. It runs off a live CD but the coolest thing is that you can now make your own custom cut-down Puppified linux from the distro of your choice using Puppy Woof!.

If you take a gander at the number of Linux distributions listed at Distrowatch, you'll find there are tons of "forks" and "offshoots" from one distribution to another. With Linux, we have the freedom to do that, but I'm curious if there are any Linux flavors that are truly offensive to people.

I’ve just been informed by e-mail that not only are some defenders of Puppy Linux flaming me on the new DistroWatch Weekly comments but one actually issued a death threat against me for being “negative” about his or her favorite distribution in a recent post here on O’ReillyNet. It’s one thing for a distribution to be well liked and inspire loyalty.

Wolvix is probably one of the fastest rising distros today. First released 2 years ago, it has already gained plenty of loyal followers and is steadily going up in the ranks of Linux distributions over at Distrowatch. In fact, I received a couple of comments at this blog and some emails telling me to try Wolvix. So what’s so special about this beastly-named distro? I’m here to find out.
