The Live-CD's/DVD's of openSUSE have a promotional effort and can be tested without changing something on the actual machine or installed operating system. Though you can install openSUSE directly from these Live-CD's their first attempt is to demonstrate the quality and stability of openSUSE.

This site contains a list of links and explanations for Live CD's of openSUSE that you can download from our sites.
