[kwlug-disc] Finnix: Fast USB Distro For Rescue

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

I needed a small and fast USB based distro that can be used to modify
things on a newly copied disk without booting from that disk.

The DVD based Xubuntu desktop ones take too long to boot, and start a
desktop, only to run a terminal from it. The Ubuntu 20.04 LTS server DVD no
longer has a rescue option (or it is well hidden).

Then, I stumbled on Finnix. It is Debian based, has no GUI, boots fast, and
drops to a shell.

It is only 412 MB.
