Excellent list. The one thing I'd probably add is Samba and NFS 
filesystem support. I'd dropkick a nun for a decent, drop-in, bootable 
CD with those features. Backing up clients' data across a network when 
their system is unbootable is a bear of a chore; and our co-op student 
is sick of us stealing his machine to perform network backups. ;>

If the LiveCD already supports this, I'll eat my hat. (Do I own a hat?)

Ok, I'll buy a hat, then eat it. :>
