A Linux Live CD used for PCjacking. The text on it is written in French and translates: This is a Linux CD to protest against the forced sale of Microsoft Windows with every computer bought in this store. This CD leaves the computer totally unaffected. Just take the CD out of the drive and reboot to let the computer back in its original state.

PCjacking is the act of putting a Linux Live CD in a public computer, such as one located in a department store or public library, and rebooting it into Linux. The reason for this is to show people that Windows isn't the only operating system available and that there are alternatives.[1] PCjacking does not damage the hijacked PC and does not alter any settings.
