What is the most savvy Live Linux Distro for working (open, coping, moving) with files (text documents, pictures, music files and videos). Typical case: We have a computer (mostly with Windows and NTFS file system) and we need to explore it's file system. Not just copy files, but full functionality including watching video files. Thanks In Advance! |

One suggestion is Linux Mint - It has most codecs on the live iso and LibreOffice - so you should be able to watch videos, listen to audio and read documents etc. |

It mostly depends on what media formats you need it to deal with. If there is no need to open non-free or formats covered by software patents (h264, for example), you can use any popular distro. Also, if this machines has internet connection, missing codecs can be installed. Otherwise, I suggest to use Mageia, as it contains codecs and can play MP3 and h264 (but AAC is still missing). |

"System Rescue CD" not only has NTFS support, but tools for fixing Windows problems, like registry editor tools, and password resetting. |
