I'm actually emailing from Whoppix right now. Been playing with it
most of the night. Very well built and could be a pen-testers dream.
It's not setup like many of the other Knoppix distros (though it
reminds me of Knoppix-STD), as it doesn't have all the bells and
whistles. It's chocked FULL of pen-testing applications and exploits
however. Impressvie indeed.
I also noticed something odd... Whoppix seems to support my 1GB PQI
I-Stick (USB Flash drive) while Knoppix (v3.4 and v3.6) or Knoppix-STD
(0.1) don't. Whoppix is based on Knoppix v3.6, so go figure. I'm just
happy to have a 1GB home drive I can carry around. =)
