'''Linux live CD Demonstration''' [[Linux_Genealogy_CD#Obtaining_the_CD|Obtaining the CD]] (727 MB) [[Linux Genealogy CD|Linux Genealogy CD based on Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat)]]. Allows you to trial a pre-installed Gramps {{Version Linux Live CD}}, without touching anything on the hard drive. To start this boot the Computer with this Live Linux Desktop on a CD in the CD/DVD-ROM Drive. (Requires that you write this image to a CD-ROM using CD-Burner software eg:Nero, Imgburn..). If you are interested in Gramps, but are afraid to actually install it or unable to install it (not your PC, windows, no internet at home, work laptop, ...), then try out our [[Linux Genealogy CD]]. It runs without installing on the hard disk and contains a collection of open source, free, genealogy programs. You can then install [http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ Ubuntu 10.10] and Gramps from the CD anytime you like.

Most linux distributions come bundled with a version of Gramps, though it's not always the most recent version and it may not have been installed by default. Still it is recommended to use the Gramps version that comes with your distribution.

If you already have Gramps installed, and you are only making a 'point' upgrade (i.e. from Gramps x.y.z to x.y.z+1, e.g. from 3.4.3 to 3.4.4), then it is likely but not certain that Gramps will continue to work. However, if the change is much greater, especially if it is a major version change (e.g. from 2.y.z to 3.y.z), then the danger that it does not work properly is much greater.}}
