Since a few people asked on and off list, maybe I should explain this "live CD" concept...
A live CD is a Linux distribution that runs from the CDROM. Most live CDs allow you to mount your existing harddrives and read/write from and to them [although be careful wrting to NTFS!]. For people used to making binary executables in Max, I find live CDs a much more open way of distributing your work.
For people looking to try Linux, they are fantastic, as they don't require a seperate partition. You can even use them to rescue data from your harddrive when your Linux or "Evil Empire"[TM] OS crashes or gets messed up.
Some live CDs even allow you to install them as working, hard-disk based operating systems. Knoppix in particular is fairly good for this, although you won't have a particularly optimized system...
Most live CDs are for PC architecture, and won't work on Macs. The exception are the live CDs which Gentoo uses for starting any installation, which are made for most major architectures and processors, but often only have the most basic packages involved needed for bootstrapping and installing Gentoo. I suppose these too could be remastered. I am particularly interested in making PD live CDs for PPC [Mac] architecture, so if anybody has any experience with remastering Gentoo PPC live CDs, please contact me offlist!!!
The live PD CD I mentioned is based on Knoppix, which is a vey popular live Linux CD. Others exist, such as the fabulous Dynebolic [includes PD, soon to include PDP!!!], whose main audience is artists, teachers and activists:
Guenter Geiger also has a live CD using Knoppix and some of the unofficial Debian/Agnula/DeMuDi packages:

Another live CD I haven't tried is MediaLinux @ OSL:

The official Knoppix CD can be found on their site, along with instructions on how to "remaster" your own Knoppix CD using Debian packages:
And, of course, the PD Knoppix CD I originally posted lives here:

Good luck trying these out, and have fun ;-) d.
