That's knoppix (with a K; though gnome is alos available on it, the
distro is named after Klaus Knopper, its maintainer)
http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/

it's really debian, you can probably safely raid binaries from it, and
should also be able to dpkg-repack yourself a good .deb of something
he's got.
