There are far to many "sometimes". Carry a knoppix cd around. It is very useful, particularly when u have limited time- cyber cafes, clients office etc.
Do you know how much time it actually takes to start a live CD on a P4 with 128 MB RAM? Who is going to go through the pain (read time) required to boot a live CD, then setup networking and what not, just to check email?
I was talking off important things which u need to do on a machine while living a happy n healthy life. Meds, mails from sundry lists and general time pass ka public can wait.
