USB distro for troubleshooting? Anonymous 2017-09-04 05:02:19 Post No. 62243403 [Report]

Hello, /g/entlemen. I want to install a GNU/Linux distro on a USB drive for troubleshooting purposes. For my use case, it needs to be fairly lightweight and have good built-in driver support. What would work best for this?

That was relevant, a few years back.
Now it become obsolete.

I know, because since Windows Vista came up with the recovery option, and improved drastically over 7,8,8.1 and finally 10.
There's no need, for anything like troubleshooting.
At most you would need something like clonezilla.

Why use just one distro? If you have a USB drive with enough space, throw on multiple distros to give you options. Ubuntu and Arch to cover the basics, Tails to leave nothing behind, Kali for hacking, and something else specifically for system rescues.

I like lubuntu. It's very lightweight & runs really well on older hardware (which you find in the field ALOT).
