Showed it to a friend a few months back, he felt it was too slow.
Reminded him it was loading software from a CD not a harddrive. Couldn't
get over that it was an operating system, office suite, networking,
email browser, games on one CD, etc.

There's also AFU Knoppix or 'Knoppix for hams'

http://www.afu-knoppix.de/

or 'Knoppix for hams' bootable CD with PSK31, RTTY, SSTV, FAX, APRS &
Packet Radio applications on the CD
