Bruce Byfield covers a wide variety of distributions that descend from Debian. "One of the oldest derivatives is Knoppix, which is also a pioneer of Live Media -- CDs or DVDs from which you can boot a computer without accessing the hard drive for secure computing or for demoing software. For many, Knoppix remains an essential tool, especially as a rescue disk. In fact, Knoppix is so popular that it has evolved its own derivatives."
