Hi guys. please tell me your opinion about the best linux live cd you think today. I want to have a linux live cd which:
1. fastest ( I don't need a bunch of software do the same thing).
2. able to use wireless card
3. read and write onto internal hard disk (hard disk reside in my pc).
4. able to play music and watch movie.

there are many live cd distro nowaday. I can't test them all. Please tell me any live cd you guys have been using and the one you think are the best.
Yours sincerely,

Almost any of them will do all of the above.

1. They're all about the same speed
2. Depends on your wireless card
3. Depends on the filesystem of said drive
4. Any of them will, provided you have the proper codecs/libraries installed(most distros do not come with these by default for copyright reasons)....

hi. thx for your reply. i really appreciate it.
so can you please specify me any one of linux live cd distro so i can use? Which one you are using? which one you like the most?
2. im having intel centrino wireless card (come with my laptop), does it run?

3. my hard disk is ntfs, and i have a usb flash disk fat system.

4. i just want to play mp3 file and some avi xvid codec file. IS it come in by default or can i install it onto live cd?
thx

Look at Austrumi. Made in Latvia, as small or smaller than Puppy. Never tried wireless, but it has set up for it. It copies everything to RAM and ejects the disc so you can use other CDs. It has mPlayer, and other media programs. You have to change the language on boot, but given its really stable as its based on Slackware, I don't really care.

hi guys, thx for your reply
please tell me:
1. can my pc boot with big size usb disk (40gb)? or only able to boot with small size usb pendrive? (not particular question about boot
with linux, but boot into dos also)
2. which live cd have data recovery software? i'm gonna need it in future
look forward for your reply
have fun discussing.

Sorry for not going into more detail (I don't have a lot of time to read and post right now), but I would recommend checking out PCLinuxOS. Best wireless I've had experience with, very fast, gives access to hdds.

This is the distro I use and recommend, Why because it works right out of the box. No need to configure Everything, everything just works. It also comes as a 1 CD install that is a live CD that you can install later if you wish.

hi guys, thx for reply.
However, is these distro (mephis and pclinux os):
1. able to boot from usb pen drive (or usb hdd)
2. have data recovery software? (i need it).
look forward for your reply
thx.

pclinusos can be installed to a usb drive. I don't know if there are any already 'usb sized' downloads to stick strait onto a usb drive but when you load the live cd, and click on the 'install to disc' icon, you choose from two options:

1. Install to harddrive
2. Install to USB drive

PCLOS and many other distros can easily be ran from a usb stick.

Again, have you PM'd a mod?
