Almost everyone will be aware about Linux Live CD/DVD, and might have used it too, but those who haven't will find this useful.
A CD or DVD which contain a bootable operating system is known as Live CD/DVD, the unique feature of this is that it can run a fully functional operating system from the CD/DVD without installing the same, it don't require a Hard disk to run itself on a particular computer and it wont do any harm to your operating system and files on your hard disk, instead it will create a RAM disk on your system RAM to temporally run the operating system until you exit the operating system.
Your system will return to its older state when you shutdown the live OS, remove the live CD/DVD and restart the system.
These Live CD/DVD's can come in handy when you want to use your system when your Operating System or Hard Disk might have crashed.
You just have to download the ISO image of any live CD/DVD and burn to run it in your system.
