I put Linux on my computers in ~2011 using live disks from LinuxFormat magazine I think. It made the install and transition so easy and it was helpful when I started using Linux professionally (spend several hours a week in a terminal).
They still sell LinuxFormat at my local bookstore and it still comes with live disks. So it is only now becoming less relevant now that CD/DVD drives are becoming less of a thing.

- firmgently 8y agoReading these comments I feel obliged to mention the Android app 'DriveDroid' which lets you store multiple disk images on your phone and then acts as a bootable USB disk. I've got GParted, CloneZilla, Alpine, Debian etc live disks always in my pocket. All I need is a micro-usb cable (which most modern homes seem to have laying around) to boot into various OSs and tools. No affiliation, I just think it's a cool free app and it's proven very handy for me loads of times.
