Recent commentsOne of the best forensics tools ever!
This has to be the best, most versatile, most mobile Linux platform Yet! I have tested it out on at least 6 CPU's and they all boot and I can even see my NTFS partitions.
I cant wait to see what ThePacketMaster does next…
Down load it -- Burn it and you have a OS!
Laptop support (well enhancement)
I frequently use my laptop for security auditing and troubleshooting and am starting to use TPM linux as one of my tools. I have found that booting of the TPM CD works great except that there is a long delay (and timeout errors 'fd0') while it attempts to access the floppy (which is not physically inserted into the laptop) after initial boot everything appears to work correctly...
keep up the good work.
