This is a '''list of [[Live Distro]]s''', which is a generic term for an [[operating system]] [[Linux distribution|distribution]] that is executed upon boot, ''without'' installation on a [[hard drive]]. Typically, it is stored on a [[booting|bootable]] medium, such as a [[CD-ROM]] (Live CD), [[DVD]] (Live DVD), [[Floppy disk|Floppy]] (Live floppy), and [[USB flash drive]] ([[Live USB]]), among others. |

|||
The term "live" derives from the fact that these distributions are a complete, runnable—i.e., "live"—instance of the operating system residing on the distribution medium, rather than the typical case of a collection of packages that must first be installed on the target machine before using the OS. |

Microsoft representatives have described third-party efforts at producing Windows-based LiveDistros as “improperly licensed” uses of Windows{{Fact|date=February 2007}}, unless you use it solely to rescue your own, properly licensed Installation. However, [[Nu2 Productions]] believes the use of BartPE is legal provided that one Windows license is purchased for each BartPE CD, and the Windows license is used for nothing else.<ref> |

==Early microcomputer disk operating systems== |
|||
Several floppy disk operating systems for microcomputers allowed live running from a bootable [[floppy disk]], although this was considered to be the normal way to work rather than a special feature. Some earlier operating systems did not support a hard disk. Amongst others: |

* [[MS-DOS]] itself and most variants and clones. |

* [[OpenDOS]] |
|||
* [[FreeDOS]] |

|||
* [[Minix]] |
|||
