Guest Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 My favourit liveCD would have to be ubuntu. And at the moment its my favourit distro. Im also a big fan of Debain, which is probly why i love Ubuntu so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garda Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 WOW, why do you ask, you seem to have already tried all of them :) 3 not on your list Morphix: http://www.morphix.org Based on knoppix but is modular. It's kinda cool Backtrack: http://www.remote-exploit.org A pen testing liveCD based on Slax (http://www.slax.org/) Slax and backtrack are really cool cos they are REALLY easy to add and remove modules from Geexbox: http://geexbox.org Turn a computer into a media centre, kinda cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoyBoy Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Whoppix and Backtrak are my favs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtterFox Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Backtrack is sweet! My mate lost my auditor CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
temperseed Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 For me: ubuntu = for its simplicity and overall easy to use + eye candy Backtrak = the well packed punch of tools that save me time + its eye candy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoyBoy Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I ammas a collection of LiveCD's. This way, I can lend them out and usually have tow that arent quite the same, but have some of the same tools. If i find one I really like, I burn two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhythmtech Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I am partial to Slax and DSL (Damn Small Linux) Slax has full KDE and is pretty and feature rich DSL is much more streamlined and works wonderfully on older machines. Both have worked wonderfully for me for virus scanning, file transfers over networks, I even salvaged a lost partition using gpart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitch Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Why not just install a full distro and add the software you like from the various live cd's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeoneE1se Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 If you really want some live cd's Try these and get back to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesstj Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I am big fan of Ubuntu just because its so easy to use. Perfect for a laptop. Hence I installed on my lappy. But Backtrack is what I would go with for a desktop application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparda Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Fixing a hard drive the windows partitioning software annihilated, amongst other windows caused problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wh1t3 and n3rdy Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Plus the cool thing about ubuntu is you can go to their website and they will post you a cd, FREE! I dont work for them either, just thought it was cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartain X Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 my favourite are knoppix, mainly due to it's power and it's a great tool of recovery's and the range of tools. backtrack 1 and 2 and auditor are great for pen tests and general security evaluations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyrancher82 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Plus the cool thing about ubuntu is you can go to their website and they will post you a cd, FREE!I dont work for them either, just thought it was cool.

LiquidSpikes Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Mepis is pretty good for a basic Linux live CD www.mepis.org but for cracking and stuff try "Pentoo" http://www.pentoo.ch/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
