Finnix, a self-contained, bootable Linux CD distribution ("LiveCD") for system administrators, based on Debian, is now at version 109.

The distribution, codenamed “De Pere,” can be used to mount and manipulate hard drives and partitions, monitor networks, rebuild boot records, install other operating systems, and much more.

"Finnix 109 includes a number of new features and bug fixes. Linux kernel 3.10 is included, USB 3.0 boot support has been fixed, PowerPC G5 automatic fan / thermal control has been implemented, and 'nomodeset' is now passed by default, increasing boot compatibility on many Radeon graphics cards," reads the official announcement.

Another important feature is the support added for Project NEALE. According to the developers, this mode builds an ISO with just enough software to start up and shut down.
