you can use Knoppix flavor of linux. You can boot into a fully working Linux environment.

mandrake move is probably a better solution, it is just as usable as a local installation of mandrake. it boots from the cdrom and can use a memory stick as you home directory, requires almost no configuration, detects about everything including network.

But network booting a complete system like mandrake is not quite as easy, well not yet.
