Is there a ready to go linux live disc so I can generate an offline wallet for cold storage?

I usually do this: I have a live ubuntu on a usb stick, which also contain the webpage www.bitaddress.org
I plug it into a computer and I boot it from the usb stick, keeping the computer OFFLINE.
I open the page www.bitaddress.org (still keeping the laptop offline).
I generate the paper wallets that I need and I save it to the usb stick.
I turn the laptop off.
I print the paper wallets using an offline printer that doesn't save anything on ram memory.
I wipe the usb stick using the maximum level of security available (takes a few hours).
