Whats your favorite feature of Q4OS?

Maybe I shouldnt limit it to just one choice given there are so many with Q4OS.

dev-pack for me, I really like how easy it is to create a complete package for anything from a simple script to a full blown c package and have it available for everyone to share.

Right now Im loving the fully automated install iso as it allows me to do mass installs so easily and quickly. The size and ease is a real winner as we use it with charity systems that are donated for distribution.

That's gotta be a good thing if you need to easily and repetitively install an OS, I always use the live-cd for my installs though for more control over what happens on my systems.
One thing I have done though is create a custom iso, that way I can have the tools I always use already installed and some of the things I don't use can be removed, this is another great feature and some basic instructions are in this post.

My install of Q4OS is very straight forward so I could use a custom iso but really havent had to so far.

If you use the classic install you get quite a bit more control but honestly you can change anything after an automated install, and very quickly with Q4OS.

Ive done about 20 installs so far between myself and other clients in the last few days.  Im averaging about 25-30mins an install which is very quick.

Yes most things can be altered but the problem I have is that I multiboot most of my machines and don't want to have to change the fstab of every distro after an install, I have done it a few times (not recently though smile )and it's a major PITA.

I figured that in your case but I do just the opposite. I run one OS per hard drive because i do a lot of testing and simply dont want to have any inadvertent mistakes creating issues.
