    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. =)
