Hi,
here's one solution based on Fedora+CCRMA:

http://www.notam02.no/projects/index.php?title=NotamLive

As you see in the wiki, this is something I made for a specific usage.
But you can write it on a USB stick and make persistent changes to it,
like installing apps.
The only drawback I see now is that the live image uses a non-RT kernel,
and you can not change the kernel unless you make a real harddisk install.

There is no ISO on the wiki - send me a note if you need one.
