ariane 53

ariane project is a bootable CD-ROM linux. It's the successor of giotto. While giotto booted a libc5 system with a linux kernel 2.0.37 from floppy disks, ariane comes with linux kernel 2.4.26 and libc6, version 2.2.4.

It boots (just as giotto) into your computer's RAM. After it's up and running you can remove the CD-ROM for something else. ariane does neither have to be installed on a harddisk nor does it use a live-filesystem on the CD.
