netboot.xyz
netboot.xyz is a menu you can load from a USB stick or network boot to pick and install many operating systems and repair tools without downloading each one first. It is aimed at people who set up or maintain computers and servers.
How hard it is to start using it. Easy: install it like a normal app, or use it in your browser. Advanced: you run it on your own server, use the command line, or it is a tool for developers.
