The sys rescue cd from http://www.sysresccd.org is a nice live gentoo distribution (no gui). And it

I run Ubuntu, and it's a nice one, but if your users are visual you may want to show them Kubuntu 
since KDE does have more GUI candy.

I have downloaded (and not ran yet) aLinux. http://www.alinux.org, that looks like it may be a good
