Well, you certainly don't need to buy one. Download an ISO from www.knoppix.de. When you go out, burn a CD and leave it with the client. It'll give you a fully-functional, bootable Linux system that will not touch your hard drive unless you ask it to. And it should run on any x86 recent enough to boot from CDROM. Adam
