Live CD List
As promised here's a list of "Live CD" distributions. A note this is by no means an exhaustive list. If you know of any by all means let us know.
1. Knoppix - the grandaddy of them all.
2. Mandriva Move - Mandriva's live CD.
3. Linspire Live - Linspire's (formerly Lindows before M$ sued them) live cd.
4. Damn Small Linux - This one is neat it fits on a business card cd, and is great for use on an old school computer.
5. Gnoppix - live Knoppix but this one uses Gnome instead of KDE for the desktop.
6. Morphix - I haven't tried this one out yet but from the concept of different target types, I'm intrigued to try it out.
7. PCLinuxOS - Another one I want to try. This one is a Mandriva based distro, but it has a lot of features that normally aren't found on live cds, like java, and few other packages that due to licensing normally don't find themselves on live cds.
8. Slax - this one is based on Slackware, another one I haven't tried but really want to.
9. Suse - these are evaluation cds, not the full blown product, but hey it's a good way to see if you want to buy it. Suse has a lot of good things going for it. Especially if you're a newer user of gnu/linux, and computers.
Like I said this is by no means an exhaustive list of Live CD distributions if you want a more exhaustive list check out Distrowatch.
