Linux Update-2019

Linux Update-2019

I was getting bored and lazy.

I decided to put all my working Linux Utilities in one place.

Namely portable USB and on an external drive one terabytes.

I tried Multisystem Booting DVD to create a USB (a little over 60 GiB).

MultiSystem Booting that comes from France is an amazingly good booting utility.

Make sure you boot it in English.

Guess the first few distributions.

1. Multi-System DVD

2. Peppermint

3. PinguyOs

4. AntiX

5. Ubuntu

6. Debian Gnome/Xfc

7. Elementary OS

8. AVLinux

Even though Arch (Manjaro) is pretty good, I do not use it, simply because of its rigidity in installation.

Debian came first with all the desktops in one place.

Over 2930 utilities, it takes hours to install while even not connected to the Internet. 

But ones up (it has a very good Grub2 boot loader which detects all the other distributions) it has everything one needs except Abiword my favorite and Unetbootin (mind you Unetbootin is a systeminux utility and won’t boot in 64 bit computers) an old USB utility.

I have almost given up using Peppermint because it is bulky to boot with a dark desktop (word processing is extremely cumbersome).

It also cannot boot in Unetbootin.

PinguyOs is based on Ubuntu and has a beautiful desktop unlike Ubuntu but Unetbootin froze with a graphic face, without menus.

I wanted find the problem with Unetbootin and finally I found a working Unetbootin in AvLinux (heavy with utilities one needs at least 4 GiB Ram).

Mind you Debian does not let MultiSystem to form xfs file.

I finally got Debian’s Gnome and Xfc4 booted in a USB Stick and it uses SystemLinux to boot which does work only with 32 bit computers.

The problem is with its boot loader.

But the best out of the lot is Elementary Linux.

One must boot it with its DVD (not from MultiSystem) and has enormous amount of utilities in addition to paid services. 

I got Abiword but no Unetbootin.

Good Bye to Unetbootin  until it has a 64 bit version.
