Thank you for your interest in the Linuxcare Bootable Business Card.

We are happy to announce that the new version of the Bootable Business Card, version 1.2, is being distributed to Linux User Groups around the world. You can also find us at upcoming exhibitions where we will hand them out for free. Or, download the ISO image and burn it to CD yourself.

The Bootable Business Card is a complete miniature Linux system on a bootable CD-ROM disc in the size and shape of a business card. It is a bootable mini-CD which should work in almost any PC-compatible machine capable of booting CD-ROMs. Boot our Bootable Business Card and you have 108MB of usable software at your fingertips. It contains a full complement of recovery and rescue software. On the booted system are over 500 diagnostic programs, utilities, and networking clients.

Carry it in your pocket, and immediately have the means to boot any PC as a networked Linux workstation, examine and repair a damaged system, diagnose network problems, make backups, mirror hard drives... you can have unmatched flexibility and power in a variety of unexpected situations.

In addition, you can now install Debian GNU/Linux directly from the Bootable Business Card, and you can also run the X Window System (subject to hardware compatibility).
