Four Awesome Toolkits

Four Linux distro's that should form part of every geeks toolkit.
Two of the distro's are bootable Utility CD images (or USB images) that can be used to repair, backup, clone test and even reset Windows passwords.  Utilities disks are godsends and can be used on a range of systems.
Two other distro's handle security (Backtrack) or can act as a Router Firewall (pfSense).  The last distro is a Small Business Server that can be setup with DNS, DHCP, Email, Users, LDAP, shared folders, Intrusion detection and more.
