i had forgotten mepis, and i didnt know slack had a live one.

Slackware actually has two. The second Slackware installation disk can be booted off of as a live rescue disk.

The other is a seperate project called SLAX, formerly known as Slackware-live. It's a relatively small live-cd distro which, in terms of the GUI at least, is focused entirely on KDE and it's applications. No redundancies like with Knoppix. Only Konqueror, no Mozilla. Only KOffice, no OpenOffice or Gnome office apps. And so on.

Some other popular projects you left off include Morphix and Damn Small Linux. There's also the up-and-coming PCLinuxOS.

i knew i couldnt remember all of 'em.

I voted for Knoppix. You also forgot Morphix - I know it is based on Knoppix, but there are some significant differences. Both are cool.

another vote for slackware live. it boots at least twice as fast as knoppix, and imho is easier to work with. :cool:

twilli227 02-14-2004 08:09 PM

SLAX and then knoppix, for more of them:
