Also, relating to bootable linux CDs, knoppix-std (Security Tools Distribution). Boots from CD and has most popular GUIs (KDE, GNOME etc) and a shed load of descent security tools.

Just read about kurumin (thought that might be wise before posting :) ), and apparently its based on knoppix as well. So if you like kurumin and you are into security I highly reccomend knoppix-std.
