VMKnoppix is a specialist KNOPPIX Live CD, which in itself is based on Debian. This distribution contains a number of Virtual Machin software packages such as Xen, KVM, VirtualBox, QEMU, KQEMU (QEMU with accelerator) and UserMode Linux. The latest release, based on KNOPPIX 5.3.1, version number 20080519, also includes a secure virtual machine monitor BitVisor 0.2 (a package worthy of its own blog article!) various boot loaders including GRUB-IMA (Integrity Measurement Architecture) for trusted boot, Xen 3.2.1 with vTPM (virtual Trusted Platform Module emulator) and lots of other good stuff.
