SMART for Linux - It’s bootable!
The installation CDROM for SMART doubles as a boot disk as well, providing an excellent platform with an independently verified forensic tool for acquiring and analyzing physical media. The hardware detection is excellent (I’ve never had an issue with the CD). Once you start the system, you can run “configx” and then “startx” and get a choice of GUI’s, including a very clean Fluxbox interface with easy access to the SMART User’s Guide and the program itself. SMART’s bootable CD provides a bootable environment that you can be sure is forensically sound. We’ve already had a glimpse of SMART’s capabilities.
