There is a distro called "Dynebolic". It's at: http://www.dynebolic.org/
Here's a little bit of whats on the first page of the website:
*************************
"move your first steps in a GNU world with dyne:bolic!
You don't need to install anything, you don't even need an harddisk to run a
whole free software operating system running out of the box on your PC!
Download the ISO-image, burn your own CD, reboot your machine and you'll
get back true love ;^)
dyne:bolic is shaped on the needs of media activists, artists and creatives
as a practical tool for multimedia production: you can manipulate and
broadcast both sound and video with tools to record, edit, encode and
stream, having automatically recognized most device and peripherals: audio,
video, TV, network cards, firewire, usb and more; all using only free
software!
You can employ this operating system without the need to install anything,
and if you want to run it from harddisk you just need to copy a directory:
the easiest installation ever seen!
It is optimized to run on slower computers, turning them into a full media
stations: the minimum you need is a pentium1 or k5 PC 64Mb RAM and IDE
CD-ROM, or a modded XBOX game console - and if you have more than one, you
can easily do clusters. "
*********************************
Once you burn the iso it will work as a "Live CD" without installing it.
You can create a 'nest' on your HD to store stuff if you want to continue
to run it live. Or, you can install it. The desktop is WindowMaker, which
is a lot different from GNOME or KDE, but very functional and much faster
than either. It also comes with a load of *extreme*, but interesting, left
wing political stuff.
