I'd also recommend having a look at PCLinuxOS:

   http://www.pclinuxonline.com/pclos/html/download.html

Version 0.7 was just released, and it's quite nice. It's a bit more "consumer" 
oriented than Knoppix, so it's got less compilers and more productivity 
tools. Compared to Knoppix, it looks a bit "prettier".

The main caveat is that it defaults the root password to "root" and guest 
password to "guest", so I'd change those before going online.

(Klaus Knopper, the author of Knoppix, doesn't tell people what the root 
password for Knoppix is, as you can change it in a root console without 
knowing it).
