What are some useful ISO files that you like to see at hosts?

For example:

GParted
Netboot.xyz

sysrescuecd

On bigger vps with nested virt enabled I'd love to see a proxmox ISO. Can be done via debian >> proxmox conversion but that's not fund.

Most of my scripts etc is geared towards it so prefer it as base

System Rescue CD and Netboot.xyz are two great ones to start with. But here's some additional ones for other edge cases:

Plop Boot Manager - https://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager/index.html - Useful for booting older systems/OS installs off of more modern media.

TinyCore Linux - http://tinycorelinux.net/ - Superlight Linux Distro (can boot with as little as 28MB of RAM!)

KolibriOS - http://kolibrios.org/en/ - If you thought TinyCore was lightweight, how about only requiring 8MB of RAM and a Pentium class CPU? Plus, with a GUI too!

Memtest86+ - https://memtest.org/ - Great for burn-in testing memory on hardware. Very thorough and works on pretty much everything from a i386 to the latest x86 CPUs.

System Rescue CD can do everything that Parted Magic can do but it's free.

I used this several years ago for a project and was impressed with how well it worked

Trinity? You know things get serious when data recovery becomes religious.

Even though it's a bit older now, the Trinity Kit is still part of my rescue USB-collection:
