I haven't worked with any of these, so I can't offer any recommendations.
However, a friend of mine told me about a distribution from France called
DemoLinux...
http://www.demolinux.org/
Since it was small, I mirrored it on the MUUG server quite some time ago...
ftp://ftp.muug.mb.ca/mirror/demolinux/demolinux/
... however, they discontinued their FTP service, so the mirror stopped
working. You can still download from their web site (or get the older
versions from our mirror).
I have no idea how this one might compare to other bootable CD distros.
