Acutally I bought the October 2018 and January 2019 versions. Both suffer from the same issue; namely the network driver will not stay connected. The driver cycles between connected and disconnected in about 2 1/2 second periods...on, off, on, off, on, off. I have tested both versions on three different computers with three different adapters...always the same...on, off, on, off...ad infinitum. Yes, I have tested with wireless and ethernet.
The internet does work but it is very intermittant as one would guess.
Lastly, the latest version have not changed or improved much since he started charging. Me thinks I will not be buying the next installment.
Also, help with problems is pretty spare too. That consists of searching a 'forum.' Really? Problems with software you paid for and a forum is the only place to go for solutions?

Been using Parted Magic for 9 years to transfer data from failing drives to working drives. Repaired data accidentally deleted. Discovered and removed malicious code from Microsoft boxes. Partitioned or repartitioned drives. Made bootable removable media images. Discovery of failing SMART drives. All with the ability to find information online concerning the above, with a web browser. All usage done loaded in memory or from partially loaded code. Running on the affected PC. I have no problem paying for Patrick Verner's work.

Just downloaded the new version. Love it. It just keeps getting better every release. I use this all day at work. At this price it's got to be the best value of any software I use.

Does not work as well as other versions on my aging amd64 pc. Its starts fine, slows down to a crawl with sshd, and when the screen comes up, it then takes an age to set itself up.
I contacted the forum. thats a joy to deal with. After having to wait for signin details,I posted the problem. I got a link back as way of an answer. But it did not deal with the problems i was having so I was able to this time write a reply that went something like 'I did not mention a black screen' . I also said something of needing to resign in to to got to the next page (had to resign three times). Since that point I have not been able to sign in at all. No explanation has been given, but it looks suspiciously like I have been deregistered in a weasel like way.
I will not bebuying another one.

Frankly - I´m confused what is this distribution target for.
1) If you are a newbie or not advanced user, it became extremely handy but are you really newbie, fighting with partitions, etc?
2) If you are advanced user you have not a single problem include all software packages into your very own distribution based on whatever existing distribution.
I was using Parted Magic for years, when I belonged into 1), also paid ones. Nowadays it looks like a cannon in a child´s hands. If you became part of 2), your questions and doubts about this distribution sense will remain.
Overpriced distribution ($11 1-time-download or $49 1-year-subscriptions equals one of the most expensive software, comparable to antiviruses for Windows), I can´t see appropriate value inside!

Works great. I'm not homeless and I value my time. I would rather just download this for $11, then spend all day dealing with 5 live distributions. I don't understand why people would give this a negative review just because it's not free as in beer. This is exactly why most businesses do not what anything to do with open source.

To much dollars for one live Linux CD-USB drive, first version was 5 dollars, I have buy few online, than 9 dollars now 11, not worth it. The same job you can finish with live Ubuntu boot, PC Linux... and you can download GParted or Clonezilla from they original web source.

10 for utility but 1 for charging for the distro.
Thankfully you can still download the old version for free and it does everything it needs to do.

Excellent toolkit and live desktop distro that is smooth and lightweight. Thoughtful compilation of disk recovery and system tools, with some custom scripts. Slackware based. Worth paying for but the annual subscription is pricey and the one-time downloads quickly go out of date from a security perspective.

I wish it was free. It was free. But not any more. But this one is a gotta have. I have gotten myself out of some many jams I can't tell you. The grub repair is worth the money, works and it fast. Not terminal or scripts or anything like that. And it will allow you to grab stuff of a HD even if that HD will not boot.
You need this one in your tool bag. Pay Patrick the $$$ and get it.
But I wish it was free like it used to be.

Very good as boot rescue disk. One of the few distros that support 32 and 64 bit UEFI booting in signle iso file. Only thing I didn't like is that it's not free anymore.

The only Linux distro (that I am aware of) that OOB reads Windows encrypted BitLocker partitions. With other goodies its a pure 10 in its niche.
