The developer also supply the Inetboot and Etherboot/GPXE tools to support loading of network-based boot images.
Features:

– most of virtualization solutions as part of the distribution – you don’t have to search for their latest versions, you don’t need to compile anything – all the tools are ready for immediate use
– great virtualization playground – you’re unlikely to find something as suitable and as useful for your virtualization experiments
The latest live system is based on Knoppix Version 3.5.1.
