What Linux Distro's Do You Use / Have You Used?
- Thread starter f.i.t.h
- Start date
Fedora is a Red Hat type distro for the most part. I know from that being one of the first tried here back a few years ago when first looking Linux over. That was also when GParted and QParted both saw a look as partitioning tools.
Mandrake was on along with the SUN Microsystems Solaris 10 trying to get that up and running on the last build while several live for cd releases have been used over the years. You touched on a few there with Knoppix and ubuntu 7.10 live. Others like Mepis, Zenwalk, Gentoo, and a few others I probably forgot about until now!

One old article may be of some real interest to you aboiut how a live for cd distro has other purposes like data rescue on MS type systems whether Fat or NTFS is the partition type. You can review the "Computer First Aid using Knoppix" article seen at http://www.shockfamily.net/cedric/knoppix/
A few other live distros can also be used to substitute Knoppix like ubuntu for gaining acccess to partitions when Windows can't for some reason. At the time of the article Knoppix being small in size was the choice for something like that.
