Most probably it's a variant of the Knoppix distribution. Shouldn't be too hard to do. One of my guys did a custom one and called it Laggix :) We use it to dd HDD's in a forensically sound manner. But anyway, running the firewall & O/S from a bootable CD is a cool idea, but not practical. It can't scale very well, and I'll have reservations about its performance. But the biggest thing should be how well the firewall protects stuff at the application layer.
