Hi,

I have a USB flash Driver (UFD) and wanna to install on it a boot manager that I can use to boot a Linux live OS on my UFD more over I wanna to be able to boot through PXE using my UFD.

So in your opinion which one is the BEST for me and give me more options than other.

No one can say which it's best for you.

Everyone has his/her own opinions on the matter, but as per today grub4dos and Syslinux have roughly the same features.

I would say grub4dos, because I am more familiar with it, another member might say Syslinux, noone can say which one is better, and definitely NOT which one is better for you.
