Yup, KNOPPIX is key. I use it for all kinds of stuff! It's a fully built, functional CD with all the stuff you need, like internet apps, browser, KDE, office apps, etc. and you don't even need a hard disk. And it auto-detects most modern hardware. If you want to run linux just temporarily, or try it out, or have a truly portable, fully-functional linux installation, Knoppix is for you. Just carry around Knoppix and a floppy, format it and mount it under linux, and save your work there. It's also good for hardware troubleshooting -- if your windows box is crapping out, boot up Knoppix, and if it still crashes it's probably your hardware, not your OS. As mentioned above, you can use it for data recovery too. Knoppix is most definitely the coolest implementation of Linux I've seen in a while!
