Linux live cd options

[Jude DaShiell]

There's also a talking arch live cd available. 
http://www.thebrannons.com/tarch/ is where you go for that.  That 
doesn't use hardware speech synthesizers by default but does use the 
sound card.  You insert the CD and wait.  If arch can come up talking it 
may take a couple minutes.  First command to type after logging in is 
export dialogopts="--visit-items" <enter>.  That makes accessibility 
better and makes arrow keys work reliably if you install arch.  To 
install, type /arch/setup <enter>.  This is a newer version of linux and 
you need to select install from internet to do a full installation. 
This Linux is different from most other punctuated development linux 
versions where updates happen for a while then development is frozen 
then a version update happens.  Arch is an evolutionary updating linux 
in which when you do an update, you get the latest stuff down on your 
system since arch has only one version and that version is Current.
