Cynan 0 Posted October 4, 2003 I've used muLinux before as I wanted something really small that would let me test out a few bash scripts. Installing anything else would have been overkill for that. It's actually very good and I would recommend it. I've used Trinux as well. It has all of the favourite network utilities, such as nmap, so it's great if you want to check for security holes on a network that still have floppy drive access. --Cynan.

adamvjackson 0 Posted October 12, 2003 Bootable CDs (ala Knoppix) are another option, some can save config files to either a floppy or USB flash drive, so that's an option too. Plug for Knoppix here, and it's spin-offs: ClusterKnoppix Knoppix STD (Intrusion detection, etc.) KnoppixMAME Also, Movix looks neat too. Share this post Link to post
