A friend pointed me to this yesterday: FIRE - http://biatchux.dmzs.com/

FIRE is a portable bootable cdrom based distribution with the goal of
providing an immediate environment to perform forensic analysis, incident
response, data recovery, virus scanning and vulnerability assessment.
Also provides necessary tools for live forensics/analysis on win32, sparc
solaris and x86 linux hosts just by mounting the cdrom and using trusted
static binaries available in /statbins.

Anyone tried it?
