Nope, he had .com, not .org. It'll work without the triple dub.
Knoppix (from knoppix.net and knopper.net) and Knoppix-std
(knoppix-std.org) both have nessus installed. There's not much difference
between the two if all you want to use is nessus, however, STD has a lot
more goodies in it as well, so I'd definitely recommend it over plain
knoppix for security work.
There's a fair amount of effort going into STD as far as identifying and
adding more security tools (it doesn't have as many programs as FIRE does
yet, but being based on knoppix, I think the underlying system is nicer).
Additionally, other projects like a two-click snort/acid interface, and
newbie-friendly documentation on security topics are being worked on. One
of the goals of STD is to gather together a large amount of tools and
introduce new people to them in an easy to use manner, as well as being a
powerful toolbox for anyone who already is comfortable with the tools.
Both vanilla and std have some really nice features, like using an
encrypted home directory mounted from a usb thumb drive, setting up a
'terminal server' (dhcpd, tftpd configured to allow automatic netbooting
of other devices on the lan).
