It's not impossible to build your own--in fact with an external disk  
(an older Firewire iPod, for example), it's downright easy and you can  
add whatever tools on there you want besides.  I mean, when was the  
last time you actually got a DVD image of Solaris that was fully  
updated, or <insert favorite Linux distro here>?
