One thing I'd love to see in either an Ubuntu LiveCD or an immediate 
derivative would be a set of system recovery tools.  Perhaps including 
GParted, Knoppix's variant of the ntfs-captive drivers (or HFS+ on the 
PPC editions),

Frankly, I grow tired of being forced to use KDE when I want to salvage 
a Windows computer for a friend.  I'd honestly love to see something of 
that sort from an Ubuntu-based distro.
