Can you use PHP and Mysql with a Linux Live CD?

Q. If you come back to Windows will all your PHP & Mysql settings gone? Do you have to reinstall everything again if you decide to use a second time the Linux Live CD?? I don't want to install Linux permanently o0n my sustem but I would like to work with the Lice CD without losing my work & setings. Is it possible?

A. Linux LiveCD's are run within the RAM of your PC so you cannot save you settings between LIVE sessions.

One possibility is having Ubuntu installed on a USB Pendrive

Best linux distro to put on bootable usb?
Q. Hi, i have been using a usb loaded with ubuntu to browse the internet for some time now. I like how you can't get a virus with an operating system that isn't actually installed. But my question is what is the best bootable linux distro. Which has the most features that can be run from usb? I was just wondering if there was anything better than ubuntu that others would recommend.

A. you can run any number of distros off a usb thumb drive though the light weight distros are the best such as Puppy Linux, Slax, DSL, &c. One thing you can do is install a bunch of distros to a Thumb Drive http://www.pendrivelinux.com/boot-multiple-iso-from-usb-multiboot-usb/ thus you can boot to whatever you feel like. For instance you can put all six versions of Linux Mint (5 Desktop Environments & LMDE), with Fedora, Puppy, Slax, & Knoppix on a 32 GB Pendrive.

How to boot joli cloud iso from grub or grub2 ?
Q. I just want to boot joli cloud from pendrive. I succesfull boot ubuntu iso from grub2 but in joli it say 'file not found'.
I want to use ntfs for my pendrive so dont suggest me syslinux software. Because it does not run on ntfs.

A. Assuming you want to install Linux on a PC without a CD / DVD Burner, here's how to run any Linux Installer from a USB Flash Drive (UFD):

And, if memory serves, you do NOT need to force any Linux to format your UFD to NTFS. Just let Linux choose it's own default disk file format, because you only need 'Linux on USB' for an hour, or less.

TIP: Once Linux is installed, re-format your UFD to use it as a DATA file back up device, again. Need more help? Post your questions to JoliCloud's Forums.
