    Default [Poll] Recovery Cyan's 1.4 or Amon_RA 1.2.1 Which is better & used?


    I've been using Cyan's recovery forever but lately I've been hearing that Amon_RA's recovery has more features and makes things a little easier!

    1. I want to know what recovery image do you currently use?
    2. Honestly speaking, which one do you think is better at the moment?

    *Amon_RA's image is based off of Cyan's but has a few extra features like:
    # Formatting Fat32, Ext3, and Linux Swap (which could be really convenient for noobs)
    Multiple Selections to Poll questions are suggested. Thanks!!

    Amon_RA Recovery
    Cyan's 1.4 Recovery

    This is easy, cyan hands down, I may be wrong but by what the people I helped said, Amon doesn't have gparted included and that's the bar they need to get 2, if they include that with what they have then it'll be better.

    It's there but you can't go into console and customize it, it only format the 3 at preset values.

    I know, but that might be easier for the noobs. I still prefer Cyan's.

    It's faaaarrrr better for noobs but overall its not better than cyan, gparted is a bigger advantage than what they have to offer, you can even resize partitions and keep your data intact with cyan without having to delete and recreate em all the time.
