• External SSD. How to get more from it? Linux on external SSD

  I find Slax which is looks like a good choice for live distro at a glance. If I'm correct it works not just in live mode it is installed on sdd. Source: 10 months ago

• Lightweight arch based distro

  Slax. It is based pn Debian, so you can apt install most packages. Make sure to read Slax's installation guide first though. Source: over 2 years ago

• Live ISO with many utilities installed

  You can try Slax as it can be loaded to RAM. However you will need to install rest of the required utils... (afaik Chrome and GParted are included by default). Source: over 2 years ago
