Bootmed-disappointing
Henm2September 12, 2012
Pros
I also did not find this Live cd very useful. I am used to using all sorts of Linux based live cds and this is not one of the good ones. The main letdown is that the file manager on it does not appear to locate any of the other media on the computer system such as hard drives, Cd Roms etc. If you are in a situation where you are a trying to rescue and copy files from a hard drive then a good Live Cd file manager is essential. The only good thing about Bootcd is that it is quite a light Livecd and works well for internet use as it does appear to have good wireless network detection. However for a Live Cd in general for rescue and security purposes you would be better off with the likes of Knoppix, Peppermint 3, Lubuntu, Zorin.
Cons
Poor file manager, not very many rescue utilities.
Summary
You are better off with one of the many other Live Cds available such as Knoppix 7.04
