Nikos, Even better, you can use some live CD distros like Knoppix or Linux BBC. BBC is far smaller than knoppix and fits on business card CD's. Knoppix is a full X-enabled linux that allows you to mount local partitions on the disk drives. These allow you to boot linux up on any PC with a CDROM drive. I use these guys for such emergencies.
