If you want to learn how things work under the hood, go why above. If you want to avoid trouble as much as possible, go with grml.

I've been finding/watching/trying different LIVE CDs (preferable Debian based) for a long time, and have tried all above.

I've now stopped finding because I think I've found the best one so far — grml. check out grml.org. It is now pure Debian based. It's a live CD, but you can apt-get to install your package too in live CD environment.

You can also get a working pure Debian system on HD within minutes. By "pure Debian system", I mean everything is actually Debian in grml. You can start install/customize right away after the installation. I'm using Debian Testing now, which was its HD installation.
