Live Unix Distro Help...

Hello,

I was just looking for some help on Unix distros that don't affect my hard disk. Basically what I am looking for is a distro that has all your programming needs (so I can program in Unix) and the basic functions of an OS. I would also like it to include python if possible.

BTW, is it possible to install programs in live distros on the harddisk? In other words, could I install and run an external program not on the .iso by saving it the hard disk, installing it with the distro, then using it whenever I booted up the live distro (very long question, lol)?

Thanks
