Have you looked at BackTrack

http://www.remote-exploit.org/backtrack.html

BackTrack is the most Top rated linux live distribution focused on
penetration testing. With no installation whatsoever, the analysis
platform is started directly from the CD-Rom and is fully accessible
within minutes.
It's evolved from the merge of the two wide spread distributions Whax
and Auditor Security Collection. By joining forces and replacing these
distribution the BackTrack could gain a massive popularity and was voted
in 2006 as #1 at the surveil of insecure.org. Security professionals as
well as new-comers are using it as their favorite toolset all over the
globe.

Hi Joel,
Most testers will use a combination of tools and take the best of breed from
each category.

Network enumerators are here

Active Fingerprinters are here

Vulnerability Scanners are here

Exploitation engines are here

Then you get into Web and database scanners

Hope this helps
