Moult Global Moderator Posts 663 Karma 2 OS	KDE Beta and Release Candidate Live CD`s Thu Jan 21, 2010 1:27 pm What you are suggesting is that KDE either create or support an "official" KDE distribution. KDE already gives ways you can get it through various popular existing distributions.

stefan9 Registered Member Posts 4 Karma 0 OS	KDE Beta and Release Candidate Live CD`s Thu Jan 21, 2010 7:53 pm It doesnt have to be a "official" KDE distribution. It can be build on the top of a existing distribution. But it should be a clean installation without any addons of the distribution. So it also could be used as a reference. For example: I try KDE SC 4.4 RC1 on Opensuse or Kubuntu and I think I found some "bug". Im still not sure if this bug is because of KDE or because of any configuration of the distribution. So not so advanced user`s could download this Live reference CD. I believe it would make it so much easier for many KDE user who are willing become a Beta tester... It`s a way mobilizing and enabling KDE users... Sorry for my bad english. I hope you got the point:) Last edited by stefan9 on Thu Jan 21, 2010 8:03 pm, edited 1 time in total.

But KDE is "only" a window manager. It needs a environment where it can run. I know that... But it would be nice to have some live CD (no specific distro) to download and try it without installing KDE SC alpha/beta on working machine or any other machine...I think, it's better that way than installing in vbox, if you don't install on hdd...OK, I installed KDE SC 4.4 rc 1 on my desktop, laptop is only for stable realise...
Primoz Moderator Posts 859 Karma 1 OS	KDE Beta and Release Candidate Live CD`s Thu Jan 21, 2010 9:02 pm AFAIK there was a KDE "showcase" LiveCD with KDE4.0 it was OpenSuSE based.... So yeah this was already there and it's still there with probably newest version of KDE: http://www.kde.org/trykde/ So already implemented. Primoz, proud to be a member of KDE forums since 2008-Nov.

Sorry I didn't check the KDE Live, but now i have and I see it's actually with KDE4.3.2, so it's not same as what OP wanted.
