Live Linux Filesystem On A CD

From their homepage:

KNOPPIX is a bootable CD with a collection of GNU/Linux software, automatic hardware detection, and support for many graphics cards, sound cards, SCSI and USB devices and other peripherals. KNOPPIX can be used as a Linux demo, educational CD, rescue system, or adapted and used as a platform for commercial software product demos. It is not necessary to install anything on a hard-disk. Due to on-the-fly decompression, the CD can have up to 2 GB of executable software installed on it.
