I recently created a minimal, custom Devuan live "spin" (personal use) for my thumb drive, and it got me wondering what desktop environment and/or distro everyone prefers to use in a live system.
I'll start: pure openbox-session. I have xfce packages installed, thunar and the like, and I prefer xfce with openbox (ala Crunchbang) for normal use. But, anytime I've used a live environment, it's usually to accomplish one or two very specific tasks, and I've found less is usually more -- and by that, I mean, accessing a terminal is usually all I need.
What's your preference?

Re: What's your preferred live environment/distro?
I usually turn to MX Linux (comes with Xfce) for live sessions. I'm not picky about the DE/WM because I don't need to boot into a live session all that often.
Edit: I also keep GParted Live (comes with Fluxbox) sitting around on a flash drive.

Moved to Offtopic.
I'v got a tool-stick with wheezy/fluxbox that I've used as required, but is probably due for replacement now.

Grml and a custom-made Debian live CD (with Xfce and fluxbox).
