Knoppix

From TWUUG

Knoppix is the leading LiveCD linux distribution. A Live CD (or DVD) distribution is cool because you can insert it on any computer running any operating system that is able to boot from a CD (most modern computers) and have a complete linux environment available to you. The computer does not even have to have a hard drive. For example, you can take a Knoppix DVD with you up to your relative's house while you visit and use their PC with linux, then when you take the CD out their computer is just as they left it with their original OS, files, etc.

Knoppix comes in both CD and DVD editions. The DVD has many, many more packages than the CD because of the amount of data that those formats can hold.
