Hello .. did someone mention Sabayon?
Yes its easily THE best live distro out there. I had been using sabayon since a long time, but switched to ubuntu as my DVD driver is gone kaput and can only read CD's

, I hardy used command line in Sabayon (except to configure my EVDO modem). I didnot install sabayon on my computer, thats because I used it for work related purpose and hence XP stayed on my desktop, where as my dad's laptop has Vista and is very slow, so I used sabayon live DVD on it ( sabayon loads faster than vista even in Live environment

). Its totally n00b friendly and easy to use. go ahead and download it, you wont regret it.
BTW Sabayon 4.0 is comming out this Christmas

PS: @sumit : you want me to send the Sabayon DVD?....... remember Street Hawk
