Knoppix 8.6 and Super Grub2
Knoppix 8.6
Knoppix is the quintessential Live rescue disk, with a helpful collection of tools for bringing back both Linux and Windows systems. But Knoppix is also much more: Onboard, you'll find a full-featured GUI desktop and over 2,600 packages, including diagnostic tools, development tools, pen-test utilities, and lots of well-known and unknown end-user applications.
Super Grub2
This specialty Linux builds a menu of operating systems on your computer and lets you choose which system you would like to boot. Super Grub2 is useful for fixing computers that have lost their boot menu and finding old OS versions lost on your hard disk. Other useful features include the ability to change the boot menu language.
