CD’s I tend to have with me for fixing people’s machine.  I removed a lot of the Linux distro’s because I simply didn’t use them, or they didn’t work the way I wanted them to when I did.  Knoppix, a staple for years for me didn’t detect some work machines HDs when trying to remove spyware from them.  The Ubuntu disk did so I have removed Knoppix from the list.

• Xubuntu – I prefer a Xubuntu Live CD as it runs faster on older hardware
• Damn Small Linux
• Puppy Linux
• ReactOS – a free windows sort of clone ish

Various CDs for Partitioning and repairing Windows machines

• GParted – Partitioner
• Ultimate Boot CD for Windows
• Ultimate Boot CD – DOS programs to check memory, HDs etc

Other Utils

• Backtrack 4 – Pen Testing
• Darik’s Boot and Nuke warning this nukes drives! But wipes everything
• Linux Games ISO – a bunch of games preinstalled on a live linux ISO
• Bart’s PE – A ‘windows’ Live CD (requires a valid license of windows)
• Deft Linux – More forensics
  

If you know of any other cool ones I don’t have here, let me know

Below are things I had listed but have removed from aove.

• Hirem’s Boot CD – am I missing the download link?
• System Rescue CD
• PLD Linux Rescue CD
• Trinity Rescue Disk
• Offline NT password and registry editor
• NT Password Reset
• Helix Forensic CD – see what was on a hard disk.  There was a free version but can’t spot it now

• Nuc Linux – Linux on a floppy disk (?)
