[ale] Good text based live system

[Jay Loden]

Try Slax: http://slax.linux-live.org 

Assuming the new version hasn't changed, Slax boots to a command prompt, and 
then you can optionally launch a GUI from there.I used to use it all the time 
to fix/rescue Windows computers.It's also only ~180mb so it's quick to 
download.
