If your that paranoid....make them yourself using MultiSystem LiveCD(USB). "Create your MultiBoot LiveUSB simply with MultiSystem. Just Drag & Drop your .iso on a window and that's it! MultiSystem enables a LiveUSB to do everything, ideal for exploring different Linux distributions without installing them on your PC, easily !" I posted pic of MultiSystem webpage translated to English here for quick read: http://postimg.org/image/5zuuyldd5/ Here is the link to the actual wegpage: (In French) http://lea-linux.org/documentations/MultiSystem-LiveUSB-MultiBoot Download MultiSystem here: (hint-> ms_lts_precise_r9.iso) http://en.sourceforge.jp/projects/sfnet_multisystem/ Or use MultiBootUSB found here: http://multibootusb.org/ Download from here: http://multibootusb.org/download/ Or use this script found here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallAndBootMultipleLinuxFromPendriveFlashDriveUSBDisk
