Comments and Reviews
Most versions are quite slow in updating even the most important packages. Not good for my usage. Might be good for you...
Only ALT Sisyphus has has latest versions.
This LiveCD goes on receiving incremental configuration updates and software upgrades from the kernel all the way up to the utilities used, so it's basically "evergreen" being automatically built each Wednesday; there's a dozen more desktop images maintained within Regular Builds project, by the way.
It's GUI-less on purpose serving those who know their way around CLI tools; a GUI version might be added but that one requires way more thought and love to those caught by surprise or disaster to need a rescue disk in the first place...
Feel free to contact mike/altlinux.org with reasonable suggestions or bugreports.
Added forensic mode taking forensicswiki notes into account.
