Evaluation ISO
There are currently 2
versions of the SMART Linux LiveCD (with more to come).
Both versions have been
carefully crafted to provide a solid foundation on which to
evaluate SMART and conduct a wide
range of forensic
activities. Each version contains
several hundred
megabytes of configured, customized and tuned applications and
documentation specifically designed to support forensic
activities.
One Size Does
Not Fit All
The
Slackware based LiveCD uses the 2.6 kernel and supports loading the
CD to RAM and ejecting the CD after boot.
The Ubuntu based LiveCD uses the 2.6 kernel and has support for newer
hardware. Both provide support for multiple languages including
French, German, Spanish and Portugese.
There
are Chinese,
Japanese
and Russian
versions available too!
Which one is right for
you?
Both.
While
the Ubuntu
based version is newer and sexier, the Slackware version has been
around much
longer and has proven itself to be versatile, stable and reliable.
Rarely, one version of the
LiveCD will fail to boot a system due to hardware
compatibility issues or memory constraints.
This is when
having options comes in handy.
