I have been using SystemRescueCD. It is based on Gentoo and it has a plethora of sys admin tools including FreeDOS to install firmware updates.

I tried out sysresccd and found it to be a little bomb. Its booting option variety is fantastic. It does not have the device information utility like the new finnix 101 but it compensates with some nice GUI based packages, Disc burning, GUI file browser like MC, GParted, Firefox, and a slim desktop. One package called ISOMaster is a nice ISO mastering utility and just sometime ago there was a question on this list on how to add an Ubuntu Manual into the Ubuntu ISO. This utility does just that.
Great CD. Thanks.
