    There are a few of us in the Panasonic section of the forum that run MX on our Toughbooks. A very good distro, recommend checking it out.

    The best attribute is that you can load this operating system onto a usb and use persistence, allowing you to save your work and have a portable operating system:

    Never use persistence if you're planning to use the same ISO on multiple PCs. If you want entire OS in a thumb drive then sure, use persistent. When i used persistence, the iso installer was buggy and refused to install on other PCs and laptops.
