My favourite is whoppix, another knoppix variant that has a large body
of exploits included.
www.whoppix.net And the site even has some nice demos to get you going
:)

Hi Chris,
Go and download a copy of PHLAK(http://www.phlak.org), there's a load of
good docs on the disc, and some really good tools to get you going.
Above
it all it's Linux, so it should run on your machines.
Aside from that scour the net for anything pertaining to pen testing and
security, and read as much as you can possibly tollerate, it'll be worth
it in the end.
