DSL, although I don't like it's recent adding of firefox and the DSL mediaplayer,

leaving scite, links-hacked and xmms out.

DSL has my vote.

Damn Small gets my vote! My lifesaver! I'm running Damn Small on a vintage (1995) computer for a couple of days until I can buy a new (2nd hand) computer to replace my main one that died (it was also quite old (5 years) and was cheep).

great to see this in it's own category this year!

Sure it is knoppix...

Knoppix started the liveCD race, and knoppix is the one that still works for me...

Of the list I like Knoppix. But really we miss Ubuntu LIve CD.

Why does everyone forget about Kanotix..... www.kanotix.com

I really like Kurumin as a LiveCD distro, can't see it on the list tho...

Kanotix.

There's no question that Knoppix is clever, but it's the MORPHIX derivative that has set the standard for customizable LiveCD distros opening a whole new universe of microcosmic Linux variants. If you've ever tried to create your own sub-genre of Knoppix, you'll know that the instructions alone are enough to make your head spin, but with Morphix, you can make your very own customized bootable LiveCD very quickly, and so easily, you could give the job to a novice.

Since Morphix has now set the standard for LiveCDs as the foundation of a whole new Linux industry, I think it deserves the prize.

Besides, Knoppix is like, so 2003

KNOPPIX by far. I use it to fix Windows XP and other Linuxes.

I voted MandrakeMove, but I want to try knoppix

If you like or Love knoppix, try KANOTIX.... Its the next step for knoppix...

Gotta be Knoppix.. just for the usefulness of QTparted, Many a Fedora / Microsoft dual booter user would be stuffed without it !.......
