Finnix
Finnix is a console-based LiveCD with a focus on system administration tasks. It is available for x86/AMD64 and PowerPC/PPC64 architectures, and is aware of and will work out of the box with several virtualization systems (Xen and User Mode Linux). Finnix is the oldest LiveCD still in production (since 2000), and has been a derivative of Debian since 2005.
