“FortMacTux. FortMacTux is a Slax-based live CD with some data
rescue utilities, wireless networking drivers, audio and video
software, OpenOffice.org suite, and a variety of popular
applications for the Internet era.

“Linvo GNU/Linux. Linvo GNU/Linux is a Slackware-based
distribution and live CD with GNOME as the default desktop. It
contains many popular desktop applications and is designed
primarily for newcomers to Linux.

“LPS-Public. Lightweight Portable Security (LPS), developed by
US Air Force Research Lab, creates a secure end-node from trusted
media on almost any Intel-based computer (PC or Mac). LPS boots a
thin Linux operating system from a CD without mounting a local hard
drive. Administrator privileges are not required; nothing is
installed. LPS-Public is a safer, general-purpose solution for
using web-based applications.”
