Ten Linux distros, from tiny SliTaz and TinyCore to OpenElec XBMC and Xubuntu.

Most Linux distros have been set up with USB persistence saving "live" session settings, etc.

Also included are AndroidX86, Hirens, AVG Rescue, FreeDOS and Parition Wizard MiniTool.

Bittorrent Download Link --- Detailed Information and Documentation

Direct Google Drive download -- probably slower than bittorrent except for FIOS and Google Fiber users
