Knoppix is so last year.Try WHAX, which is based on SLAX or Slackware
Live CD, which is modular, allowing you to add modules and tools as
you see fit.

Thanks to the great guys at Mutts.

I suggest you become well aquainted with the multitude of Knoppix Live CD's that are built for Security.   The two 
off the top of my head that I would reccomend are "The Auditor" and "Knoppix-STD".  You should be able to find these 
with your favorite search engine.

You will not have very much success using Windows XP  sp2 unless your idea of a pen test is telnet 10.1.1.1 80  ..
