LAMPPIX

I do not remember ever hearing about the LAMPPIX Live CD. It's a Live CD that boots up a webserver and consists of Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP, Perl, and other applications. The nifty trick here is that you can take any kind of web project that you've worked on and then burn it to a CD along with LAMPPIX - then someone just has to plug in the CD and can view the project. It could also work as a nifty business CD to show off what you can do. There hasn't been a new version since 2004, however, which I think is LAMPPIX's weakest point. Some of the applications are at very old versions.
