I just booted Accelerated-KNOPPIX - a Japanese version of Knoppix that boots in less than 60. Full details on their website, but I must admit, requests for the download have swamped their server. It took me about 30 times to get in to download.

In short, it does what it is supposed - fast booting knoppix.
