How to use live feature of live server [duplicate]

Even though I have gone through the questions similar being asked, I am not clear as to what is Live Server and how to use it. Based on few documentation I tried to install Live Server and I feel that it is same as Server Installation. So what is the difference and how to use true Live Server.

Please guide me.

Solution 1:

You don't install a live system, you just boot and use it. On shutdown, nothing is changed on the computer you used, unless you opted to install it during the live session.

You can use a live system and save data to network drives, even local drives.. but by default a live system runs in memory only, so all changes/saves by default are lost on reboot, unless you navigate & purposely save them to media that isn't in RAM

Also desktop or server; it's still a live system

Ubuntu Server historically wasn't available on live media requiring installation before you could try or use it, it's not available using the great live media that allows you to fix problems using it :)
