I am impressed with DSL, but Knoppix is the great Linux-converter - a genuine Linux killer app.

I like Knoppix, it's a great rescue system for both Linux and Windows, but last night I tried PClinuxOS and it is stunning as a Live CD, so I have voted for it.

Still a problem installing it, so I cannot yet endorse that aspect of it ...

Thumbs up
My vote goes to FeatherLinux. Its small like DSL but contains the neccessary tools that can be used to rescue/backup a Linux install. And plus I can easily load into RAM due to the small amount that I do have.

Knoppix STD, is better for a rescue cd, and knoppix is my pick for a regular live-cd.

Unfortunately its almost as bloated as Knoppix(I can't load that +400MB into RAM on my box) and it is rarely updated. Helix(forensics) would have been a nice addition on this list though.

Why is only SimpleMEPIS in the list?
Where's PRO MEPIS?

To my knowledge, PRO MEPIS is not a live CD (and has not yet had a non-beta release). You can vote for MEPIS in the regular Distribution of the Year category, though.

SLAX rocks because while it's not as small as DSL or Feather, it is still small enough to copy to ram even if you have only 256MB RAM. It's especially good for beginners. It's nice and slim, not bloated like Knoppix.

I voted Knoppix, but there's a branch called Kanotix which is even better.
