TinyCore Linux - http://tinycorelinux.net/ - Superlight Linux Distro (can boot with as little as 28MB of RAM!)
KolibriOS - http://kolibrios.org/en/ - If you thought TinyCore was lightweight, how about only requiring 8MB of RAM and a Pentium class CPU? Plus, with a GUI too!
Memtest86+ - https://memtest.org/ - Great for burn-in testing memory on hardware. Very thorough and works on pretty much everything from a i386 to the latest x86 CPUs.

On bigger vps with nested virt enabled I'd love to see a proxmox ISO. Can be done via debian >> proxmox conversion but that's not fund.
Most of my scripts etc is geared towards it so prefer it as base

Fuck this 24/7 internet spew of trivia and celebrity bullshit.
System Rescue CD and Netboot.xyz are two great ones to start with. But here's some additional ones for other edge cases:
Plop Boot Manager - https://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager/index.html - Useful for booting older systems/OS installs off of more modern media.

Cheap dedis are my drug, and I'm too far gone to turn back.
parted magic https://partedmagic.com/ not free but very reliable.
System Rescue CD can do everything that Parted Magic can do but it's free.

I used this several years ago for a project and was impressed with how well it worked

There's also the Trinity Rescue kit: https://trinityhome.org/
Ympker's VPN LTD Comparison, Uptime.is, Ympker's GitHub.
Trinity? You know things get serious when data recovery becomes religious.
Even though it's a bit older now, the Trinity Kit is still part of my rescue USB-collection:
