 BeatrIX

2004 - Herman K. Watsky [©Herman K. Watsky]

BeatrIX Linux is a compact (Less than 200 megabytes), operating system aimed at both office and home users who want something simpler, safer and superior to Microsoft Windows, and that will run on just about any IBM-compatible PC made in the past 10 years. It runs as a live CD or it can be installed to hard drive. As a live CD, it does not touch your hard drive or touch any other operating system you have. SImply insert the CD, re-boot, and about two minutes later, you're surfing the Internet, writing letters, sending e-mail and instant-chatting.

 Freeduc

2004 - OFSET [©OFSET]

Until now - and probably for a while in most heads - the GNU/Linux system at school has been perceived as a good replacement of other proprietary servers. However the server is probably the least important things in term of freedom in a school network. It doesn't allow a teacher to share a workstation software with students. Supporting GNU/Linux in the workstation side can grant higher freedom and liberty between users in a school.. Therefore, OFSET has setup Freeduc, a tool to help to list, to evaluate and to package only free - non GPL exclusive - edu soft.

 Penguin Sleuth Kit

2004 - Ernest Baca [©Ernest Baca]

The Penguin Sleuth Kit is a re-master of the KNOPPIX distribution of Linux. I have been very impressed with this distribution being that it all fits on a single CD and is so user friendly. It offers a GUI environment as well as the good old fashion command line environment fitting the novice user to the experienced user. So what is different about Penguin Sleuth? First of all my attitude is why re-invent the wheel if we already have a good wheel to start with. I also tried to keep most of the software installed, leaving a software rich environment for the heck of it. I changed several features that make KNOPPIX more forensic friendly which I will explain. I also added several additional network security auditing tools as well as forensic tools which I will list.
