Though Whax isn't a bad choice either, and from what I read, it's just as customizable. And comes with great hacking tools...

I believe Whax comes in .mo, which in theory is interchangeable with Slax, as it too uses .mo
Slax has passtools and Captive, both of which I put on my copy. It's helped me recover the admin pwd off my old laptop. Haven't tried putting any Whax modules with MySlax, but I'll give it a try on an RW and see how it works.

If you have a wireless card try airodump, aireplay, and aircrack.. I use it to test and secure my home network..

I've heard of all of them. I believe they can be added on as modules, so I might put them aside. As it is, I'm only limited to just under 700mb--the CD limit. I would think that by putting stuff on a DVD and subsequently using a computer with at least a decent DVD-ROM, one could increase the stuff on their live-cd.
Unfortunately, I'm running off either one of the desktops on campus or at my folks' home. And they're somewhat squeamish anytime they ask me what I do on the computer and I tell them I'm using OSS and/or Linux ;)
As for my laptop, I had to turn it back to the university when I transferred. Real nice computer (HP Compaq nc6000), but no buyback option was available.
But if I get a laptop again and I'm able to set up my own small network, I'll definitely try it.
