John,
You don't need to make one. Do a google on Knoppix. Knoppix (in the generic
sense - there are a few of `em) is a canned distribution of Linux in a single
bootable ISO image. You create the CD (or for recent versions, DVD), pop it
into your Windoze computer, and reboot. Viola! You have Linux with a bunch of
handy utilities pre-installed. For IT Security, Knoppix-STD (which stands for
Security Tools Distribution) is a good one, and has nessus and nmap
pre-installed. You can find it at http://www.knoppix-std.org. One caveat:
most of the tools have newer versions out now.
For more information about the Knoppix project, visit Klaus Knopper's web site
at http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html (unless German is your primary
language, in which case you should go to http://www.knoppix.org).
If Knoppix turns out not to be your thing, then check out DistroWatch.com.
There are a few bootable CD/DVD versions of various *nixes there.
