Relevance: 6.20
GeeXBoX, a small media center Linux live CD distribution, can run from any small device, such as a USB disk or a wallet CD-R, and can play both disk-based media like DVDs and online media like Icecast streams.

But what makes GeeXBoX a fantastic distribution is its ease of use and malleability.
