10 reasons why you should use Grml instead of …
With the release of Grml 2011.12 we were regularly asked what distinguishes Grml from other Live-CDs. The following items lists some reasons why you should consider using Grml instead of another Distribution for Installation&Rescue :
- handy scripts, like grml-chroot, a wrapper around chroot which will automatically bind /dev, /sys and /proc to the chroot
- the
netscript
boot option. This option will download an executable from the network and execute as root - grml-debootstrap, a tool for automated Debian installations
- grml2usb simple but powerful tools to create customized Grml images within minutes
- ZSH as default shell with a very good and comfortable zshrc
- the
netconfig
boot option. This option will download an archive from the network and unpack it on top of the current root filesystem - automatically start the ssh server with the
ssh
boot-parameter - Boot your Grml ISO-image directly from your existing GRUB setup with loopback.cfg
- Create your own customized Grml Distribution with the same tool we release our ISO-images: grml-live
- start arbitrary services without remastering the squashfs, just specify the the
service
boot option - EFI support, we arrived late with it but we support it now out of the box even with grml2usb
