Trinux
Trinux is a minimal Linux distribution that boots from a single floppy or CD-ROM, loads its packages from an FTP/HTTP server, IDE filesystem, or additional floppies, and runs entirely in RAM. It contains the most comprehensive set of network security tools available in any Linux distribution and can be used to conduct security research, analyze network traffic, and perform vulnerability testing of networks and applications.

Changes: This is the first release in nearly two years. It is built on Busybox-1.0.0pre1 and Linux 2.4.21, and includes single-floppy and 20 MB ISO boot images, but no support for PCMCIA networking yet. Numerous new/updated packages include packit, disco, tcpdump, dropbear, packetto, apache, lcrzoex, ippl, dnet, amap, openssh, wipe, tct, and more. New (but still incomplete) documentation is now available as well as a FreeDOS utility disk to ease hard drive (or compact flash) installation and booting via loadlin.exe.
