Thanks Colin.

Grml is the distro that I've been using for a long time.

FYI, Grml is pure Debain. It just provide many extra helpful tools to 
"make life easier", such as grml2usb for installing grml ISO(s) on a usb 
device for booting; grml-debootstrap that further enhance debootstrap for 
installing plain Debian; grml-live that builds a custom-build Grml 
(based) Linux live system with a single command, and so many more other 
helpful tools as well. Details at

http://grml.org/features/
http://grml.org/changelogs/README-grml-2010.04/
http://grml.org/changelogs/README-grml-medium-2010.04/
etc.


Grml does not try to please Windoze users. You can't find Gnome, KDE or 
even Xfce there. It is specially engined for sys-admin or text-based-
tools lovers. You can find all forensic-tools there (yes, all the 
hacking, sniffering, penetrating tools, in a better name). Thus I 
personally call it Debain-based BackTrack, if you know what it is...
