In my opinion, Back|Track has been my LiveCD of choice for a while. Back|Track 
was originally two projects, Auditor Linux and WHAX, which were merged into one 
distro.

I've found Back|Track to be the most complete pen-test distro aside from the 
old Auditor days. It includes custom shell/Python scripts and wordlists, the 
menu is very well thought out, and most of the tools have been automated as 
much as is possible. For example, Kismet automatically configures itself on 
startup, which was a really nice touch.
