Debian Live

Debian Live startup screen.

A Debian Live system is an instance of the Debian operating system which boots from removable media, without requiring installation or previous configuration. Supported removable media include CDs, DVDs, and USB flash drives (LiveUSB).

The user is usually required to choose the boot media (i.e.: CD, DVD or USB flash drive), and in most cases the hardware is automatically detected. If there is a DHCP server on the network, it will allow automatic configuration of the networking parameters.

Debian Live allows a very thorough user-orientated personalization of your system, including customising installed packages, the type of graphical user interface, the desktop wallpaper, the computer's idling screensaver as well as the available languages. The user may additionally add their own compatible programs.
