Is it efficient to run my server on a live CD?

For the specific server that I plan on running, I've read online that it runs faster when hosted on a Linux based OS. I have a copy of a Ubuntu Disk. I don't plan on hosting this server often and wondered if it was worth the trouble booting from the disk (not installing) and just running the server from the live CD?

Are there any drawbacks from being in the preview? Will it nullify my benefits?

You may be better off creating a virtual machine for your server using one of the freely available virtualization solutions like VirtualBox.

This permits you to host the server occasionally as desired, but does not suffer from the drawbacks of making it harder to install packages and store persistent data. The main thing to consider is the networking setup - you will need to establish NAT tunnels to the VM server ports for your services.
