I have played around with it. It seems to be very well organized, but I have heard complaints about a lot of the tools not working. I have released a CD somewhat like KNOPPIX-STD which is called The Penguin Sleuth Kit and it has most of the same tools and more. Also, it is more forensic freindly. It won't mount swap etc. like KNOPPIX and I believe KNOPPIX-STD. I am also looking in to adding clustering technology to the Penguin Sleuth Kit to help with tools such as John the Ripper. Also, I have set up support forums and an IRC chat room that is mirrored on the IRCSTORM and EFnet IRC networks for the Penguin Sleuth Kit CD. I even have a Java applet on my website that enables you to enter the IRC chat channel from your browser if you don't want to be bothered using an IRC client. I actually have a variety of Bootable CD's. KNOPPIX STD is one of them, mine is just another one. As far as KNOPPIX it is by far the best CD distro for hardware detection. My website is devoted to Linux as a Forensic platform. You can find my website, Penguin Slueth Kit Download ISO, Support Forums, and IRC support channel at www.linux-forensics.com.
