SystemRescueCD 1.3.0 Has Linux Kernel 2.6.31

,----[ Quote ]
| This Gentoo-based distribution features, among the other graphical 
| tools, the latest XFCE desktop environment, version 4.6.1. Even if 
| it's just a stripped-down desktop, with the unnecessary bits 
| removed to keep the distro size low, the amount of included 
| functionality is amazing. You will also find Firefox 3.5.2 and 
| Python 2.6.2, all of them in a 235MB, live Linux system.
