I don't know that product so I have to say "I don't know" :-) I suppose any full fledged desktop LiveCD distro is good enough for this, I prefer Ubuntu Remix as it's written for netbooks with all the odd peculiar things that put in the hardware. I also find in general that rescue systems are not very good at these desktopy things, and automagic SD card hotplugging is very much something driven by desktop usage. Try by all means, I just think YMMV. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
