Notes
You can exercise the evaluation in any way you choose—by following the tutorials, trying your own software, running
benchmarks, and so on.
The evaluation is safe to use with your existing machine. When correctly used no data will be written outside of the LiveUSB
flash drive.
The evaluation is interruptible—if you stop at any point in the evaluation, you can resume where you stopped.
The version of Fedora on the LiveUSB flash drive is minimal. It uses a RAM file system. When the size of the file system
approaches the memory limits of the computer, operations may degrade. If a slowdown or stop occurs, shut down the
computer, reboot, and resume the evaluation.
