sidux here as it is leading edge, fast and reliable . . . what more could I want?

SilverBear2006 01-12-2009 11:46 AM

I like sidux in a number of ways --and it just keeps getting better every release. But as a LiveCD, one of the originals is still my favorite: MEPIS.
Running as a LiveCD I can get online with wifi using the Mepis Network Assistant that I couldn't successfully configure with sidux.

The post above that mentioned the on-disk User's Manual has a good point. For newbs, having a full manual right on the CD that includes everything from DL & burning ISO, installing, configuring scads of HW devices. . . it doesn't get better than this anywhere, AFAIK. GParted makes partitioning easy whether you want to install Mepis or just use it as a LiveCD toolkit, although it takes longer to boot than the GParted distro or PartedMagic, because of the full KDE.

I do use other LiveCds in the course of repairing computers. But I'd have to estimate I use Mepis as much or more than the rest put together.

I can't vote again... but I would like to ask the criterias to include these livecds?

BackTrack 3

@silverbear2006

In sidux, for network configuration, there is a great tool: Ceni

kmenu > internet > Ceni
or
in konsole, just type Ceni.

Knoppix/ Kanotix variant just gets all of my hardware.

tromboneman 01-12-2009 09:25 PM

What about NimbleX?

Puppy!

Innovation, speed, variety(derivatives), with terrific community support make Puppy number one.

halovivek 01-13-2009 07:29 AM

KNOPPIX does the good.

anticapitalista 01-13-2009 09:07 AM

Where is antiX?

Otherwise I'll vote for sidux.

Is there a Debian live?

DeepDayze 01-13-2009 05:20 PM

I am currently a sidux user, and it is one fine distro for those who are not afraid of being on the leading (if not bleeding) edge of Linux.

Jaegermeister 01-14-2009 06:21 AM

Many are good, but sidux really rocks in every department!
My vote goes for sidux.

Mepis just if you want multimedia out of the box (=> for newbies)

Raffael 01-14-2009 11:49 AM

I would vote for Backtrack 3, but it's not on the list.

farslayer 01-14-2009 03:33 PM

You are correct, it's more like who Doesn't have a Live CD these days ? http://www.livecdlist.com/
Security or Utility Live Distro would be a good way for this to move.

From that respect, My vote would be for Backtrack3 as well.
