Audacity
jack-rack

everything from ratpoison to gnome...

I do have a DVD drive i can boot from. I dislike downloading DVD iso's though, 
because they are so big :). Two persons i know don't have a DVD drive (one of 
them doesn't have _any_ bootable media besides his hard drive though. Man 
that was a hassle getting the OS on there)
