Overview

The CentOS-6.7 LiveDVD and LiveCD are meant to be a Linux environment
suited to be run directly from either Optical media or USB storage
devices. It does not need any persistent storage on a machine, which
also makes it a suitable recovery environment.

The Live media are setup to run as full desktop environments and include
most of the applications used in this role.

Notes

You can now install the Live environment to your hard disk.
Please note that you need more that 512Mb of ram to be able to use
that 'iinstall to hard drive' feature (If you have less than 512Mb of
ram, you can install to disk but in
text-mode, meaning that instead of clicking on the desktop icon, you
have to launch a gnome-terminal and launch the 'liveinst' command from
within the terminal)

There is no upstream Live media product. The Live media produced within
the CentOS Project is based on and around the livemedia tools from the
Fedora Project.

These LiveCD and LiveDVD only contains content found within the primary
CentOS-6 distribution. No package from outside the distribution was
included and
no package has been changed from whats included in the base  distribution.

We appreciate all forms of feedback about these LiveDVD, including
specific application inclusion requests or feature changes in future
releases. The best place to provide this feedback is via the
centos-devel mailing list ( http://lists.centos.org/ ) and feature
requests via the issue tracker ( http://bugs.centos.org/ ).

It depends on what you are trying to do.  The CD has less stuff than the
DVD (since it is significantly smaller).

If the device has room and you can use it, I would use the DVD.
