Author Topic: recommended ISOs for a multiboot USB/possible archive for distro ISOs?  (Read 2335 times)

so i've got a 16GB USB and i'm planning to use it for tech support purposes or just general use. however, i'm not too sure on what to put on it yet.

i have the following on it already:
GParted
boot-repair-disk
Ultimate Boot CD
Android-x86 5.1-rc1

i'm planning to add:
Wifislax
Damn Small Linux
Slax
Gandalf's Win10PE x86

i'm not sure of what else to add atm. i'm considering arch linux, but i'm not sure how that works in a live USB environment, and whether or not i should add persistent data.

if you guys have any recommendations, i'd highly appreciate it.

also, as a sidenote, is there a good archive for a bunch of distros, preferably like MEGA or something? that'd help a lot as a lot of other mirrors are just awful and slow.

thanks for any help.

edit: torrents can also count as an archive in my book. just don't post any links to torrent sites that involve piracy.

If you are looking for a good Live USB distro for tech support I recommend you try Lubuntu or Debian
For general use I recommend Fedora 👍

I've always loved how Fedora is so self-descriptive of typical Linux users

I have found that any KDE distro is forgetin' large. Remember that this is just a 16 GB USB stick.
