Razor-qt LiveDVD For Linux

Razor-qt LiveDVD is an open source distribution of Linux based on the Fedora operating system and built around the Razor-qt desktop environment. It uses an older version of Fedora Linux, but it provides users with a stable OS.

This special Fedora remix is available for download from its official website or via Softpedia (see link above) as a single Live DVD ISO image that supports only 64-bit hardware platforms. It has approximately 1.5GB in size and must be written to either a DVD disc or a USB flash drive of 2GB or higher capacity in order to boot it from the BIOS of a PC.

The main function of the boot prompt is to allow the user to start the live environment without much fuss. You can also start another operating system that is installed on the first disk drive, run a system memory test, check the integrity of the media (only if using a DVD disc) and start the live session, as well as to start the distro in safe graphics mode (for old computers).

The Razor-qt desktop environment uses a single-panel layout. The panel is located on the bottom edge or the screen and has been designed to allow the user to quickly launch applications, cycle between the two virtual workspaces, as well as to access system tray programs or functions, and interact with running apps.

Default applications include the Google Chrome and Konqueror web browsers, Wireshark network scanner, KDiff3 diff and patch front-end, VLC Media Player, Dolphin file manager, and Kate advanced text editor.

In conclusion, this Fedora-based Live DVD Linux operating system has been optimized for speed, thanks to the Razor-qt desktop environment. It offers a quick and painful installation process, as well as very fast startup and shutdown processes.
