Last I poked at it, it had no Live environment. I really how it got so popular if people can’t even try it before wiping their machine. VMs?
Why? Just ride the lightning and live the hacker lifestyle!
(Just kidding… perhaps those people have an image of their Windows installation on some external HDD)
