The developers have upgraded the OS with a nice Live CD

Q4OS is a Linux distribution based on Debian and powered by a desktop environment called Trinity DE. It receives a constant flux of updates, and the latest one brings the option to run it as a stable Live CD.

Q4OS is an operating system that looks and feels like an older version of Windows, and this is achieved with the help of the Trinity desktop environment. One of the constant critics towards the project was that it didn't have a Live CD version. Users needed to install the OS in order to test it, and even if it's not a big OS, it was still an inconvenience.

"The stable version of Q4OS live CD is available for free download and use. Users are now able to perform safe Q4OS testing on a real hardware without installation. Anybody is welcome to try out and see Q4OS system in action. As an option, it's possible to proceed Q4OS installation directly from the live environment using integrated graphical live installer," wrote the devs.

A Live CD was available for a couple of weeks, but it wasn't stable. That has changed now. As usual, you can download Q4OS from Softpedia and give it a spin. Please keep in mind that there are separate ISOs for installation and Live media.
