MX-14.3 LiveUSB Characteristics vs Others
.
After using MX-14.3 for a little while, I'm quite impressed with it.
The following is an attempt to compare it with Knoppix and other LiveUSBs.
I'd be pleased to get other folks perspective on any of this.
Code:
MX-14.3 LiveUSB Characteristics vs Other liveUSB Configurations & Comments
Major & Moderate differences:
persistence on fat32 partition vs reiserfs filesize limited to ~4 Gb.
menu-driven persistence modes vs cheatcodes built-in more desirable.
built-in re-mastering mode vs none built-in more desirable; rollback is essential.
cd-size iso vs dvd-size cd-size is better to build on;
developer(s) often on forums vs not frequent contact can be helpful.
wl driver for Broadcom wifi vs b43 more difficult wifi install if wl is chosen default.
32-bit pae kernel vs 64-bit 64-bit may be essential to uefi.
no uefi boot support vs uefi having both uefi & legacy support may be more desirable;
depends on competence of uefi firmware.
no systemd vs systemd no systemd may be more desirable;
fewer regressive surprises likely w/o systemd.
squashfs for persistence vs cloop rolling release may be impossible with cloop
hard-drive install option vs 0wn rolling release fundamentally enables version upgradability.
rolling-release distro vs not rolling-release is more desirable.
single partition configuration vs not ... good & bad ...
Small differences & identicalities:
xfce graphical cpu monitor vs lxde's lxde much superior.
use made of .bashrc vs not this is a useful feature.
xfce vs lxde xfce frame controls don't crash like lxde's.
analog desktop clock vs digital analog clock may be too small to read.
whisker menu vs ???? whisker menu easier to search for apps.
install usb from iso vs same equivalent options, roughly so.
mkliveusb option(s) vs same equivalent options, roughly so.
thunar vs pcmanfm equivalent file managers.
synaptic, geany, gparted vs same identical applications.
iceweasel, NetworkManager vs same identical applications.
leafpad, ttf-mscorefonts vs same identical applications.
