Live cd / alt cd in Xubuntu

[alexander cox]

Yes, i agree. The live CD can be hard or sometimes impossible to use for
many computers, and upgrading can be considered a chore as you have to back
up all your data and re-install applications, themes, splash-screens, login
pages, etc and reconfigure your system.
This is one way people may start to dislike ubuntu and favor other OSs.
