Etoile Live CD is a Linux distribution based on the popular Ubuntu Linux.

This is the 0.2 pre-release that we worked on at the Fosdem 2007. Theres still quite a lot of problems on it (check the bugtracker), so we expect the final 0.2 release in about a month. In the meantime, feel free to download the iso and play with it -- and reports any bugs that are not already in the bugtracker !"

CentOS is an Enterprise-class Linux Distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public by a prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor.
CentOS conforms fully with the upstream vendors redistribution policy and aims to be 100% binary compatible. (CentOS mainly changes packages to remove upstream vendor branding and artwork.) CentOS is free, however, we ask for a small contribution. CentOS is a project of the cAos Foundation.
CentOS is developed by a small but growing team of core developers. In turn the core developers are supported by an active user community including system administrators, network administrators, enterprise users, managers, core Linux contributors and Linux enthusiasts from around the world.
CentOS has numerous advantages over some of the other clone projects including: an active and growing user community, quickly rebuilt, tested, and QAed errata packages, an extensive mirror network, developers who are contactable and responsive, multiple free support avenues including IRC Chat, Mailing Lists, Forums, a dynamic FAQ. Commercial support is offered via a number of vendors.
CentOS exists to provide a free enterprise class computing platform to anyone who wishes to use it. CentOS 2 and 3 are fully compatible rebuilds of RHEL 2 and 3 respectively. CentOS 2 and 3 are reproduced from RHEL sources that are freely distributed by RedHat.
Redistributed packages and sources comply fully with RedHats redistribution requirements. CentOS 2 and 3 are designed for people who need an enterprise class OS without the cost, support, certification, or brand name of RedHat.
Main features:
- easy maintenance
- suitability for long term use in production environments
- friendly environment for users and package maintainers
- long-term support of the core
- active development
- community infrastructure
- open management
- open business model
- commercial support - offered by a partner vendor

Nbed-Nakooki Live CD is a generalist GNU/Linux OS for the x86 platform.
It is based entirely on two projects :
- Norean, a collection of tools for Linux distribution creators.
Nbed is on of the Norean tools, that is used to generate the live-CD using Nakooki packages.
- Nakooki, a demonstration and pedagogic implementation of Norean tools in the form of a small source-centric distribution, that can also be used as a start point for other distributions.
Main features:
- Abiword A text-processor
- Firefox Web browser
- mplayer,xmms Video and music players
- The Gimp Graphics software
- sylpheed Mail and news reader
- Rox
Its also the result of the work on Nbed, that will offer many more things in the future. This Live-CD is a proof of concept of Nbed, at this point in time. Since Nakooki is a simple collection of packages definitions, to be compiled by yourself - without any installation CD or such, Nbed-Nakooki is a simple opportunity to allow people testing and installing (with Nbed-HD-install) a Nakooki system on their Hard Drive without special skills required.
However, even if this cant be compared in terms of features, support, etc. Nbed-Nakooki has the following advantages:
- Its very Simple to use, no complicated questions.
- Has very good performances, once the desktop is loaded.
- Its based on a very classic system, easy to understand (for those already using Linux)
