Hey Andy,
I like Knoppix best for promotion because it has more recent versions
of software, a huge amount of applications, and won't change anything
on the host system. I also use it as a rescue and recovery system
since it has a lot of tools and will run inspite of how botched a
system might be. DemoLinux is really good too, and allows you to do
somewhat of an install, using a small amount of disk space for config
file storage. I haven't used DemoLinux much since I discovered
Knoppix. I roam to different offices and can sometimes find a windows
PC in a cube I'm borrowing. I get permission to reboot that system
and boot it to Knoppix and use it for awhile. That's pretty nice.
