I have not tried "PCLinuxOS", but I am sure it is nice. There are nearly 400 known distributions of Linux (ref. www.lwn.net). Some of them are "live CDs" such as the one you describe. Perhaps the most popular of these is "Knoppix" which is Debian-based. The later versions of Knoppix also allow for a direct installation of the working live CD.
I like Debian for the desktop, but for the server (which is where AIX is tailored), it is superb. I routinely login to remote machines from home (using ssh) to perform upgrades to machines. It is literally that easy. Normally, on average, one can spend 1-2 minutes a day per machine and take care of any and all security updates and/or package additions/deletions that need to take place; all from a remote location.
