Hi All,

Following on from a discussion from Tuesday night, I'm going to go down 
the track of creating a bootable CD/DVD for training/demo purposes of my 
currently developed software.
I know of and have used Knoppix as a standalone bootable distro, but I'm 
interested to know if anybody else has used or recommends any other distros.

I'm open to the underlying source distro, as I usually compile from 
scratch, apache/php/phpmyadmin/tomcat, and use binary of mysql. But I 
also require java, (which I still use 1.4.2 so this is now generally 
available on a wide number of platforms). Historically I had no luck 
with BSD but this was few years ago now.

My preference is however a RedHat derivative as I'm more familiar with 
system administration commands and operations.

Thanks

Regards

Ronald Bradford
