I'm looking for a linux distro with the following:

  • Boots quickly, as fast as possible.
  • Has expected tools such as file browser, a web browser, etc.
  • Doesn't need to have extraneous recovery stuff such as partition editors, and what not.

These are the tools I have and use already:

  • ophcrack
  • Ultimate Boot CD for Windows (UBCD4Win)
  • chntpw (Offline NT Password and Registry Editor)
  • Hiren's BootCD
  • gparted or Parted Magic
  • Ubuntu
  • nubuntu

Any and all suggestions are welcome :-) The primary objective is to get a quick booting linux distro that I can grab / delete / move / copy files with.

Currently, I prefer using ophcrack, it boots in (relatively) fast and I can manipulate files well. The one that takes the longest is ubuntu of course.
