John,

I don't know why you talk about Devil-Linux on Trinux-talk.
I am sorry for this cross-post reply...
but I have to make Knoppix advocacy. ;-)

I guess your are talking about Knoppix from http://www.knopper.net.
I don't understand why we talk about this in Trinux mailing list.
But I would just like to say the Knoppix is a great linux boot from CD.
It is a bit like the French DemoLinux except that this is german (other
language available).
This might be the only problem [except for the download]. :-)
I use it for development (gcc, ...) (to avoid installing Linux on my company
laptop).

I mostly use if for network security demonstration,
because it contain:
 * Ethereal
 * Hping2
 * nessus
 * nmap
 * ...

Of course many tools are missing but I have a partition on the side where I
compile them.
