Hey all,

I setup a new website that is a reference for finding open source forensics tools and papers.  The goal is to have a central site to easily find new tools.  I'm SURE that I have missed a few of them, so if there are any that you use that are not on there, then let me know.  

    http://www.opensourceforensics.org

Note that there are no bootable Linux CDs on the site yet.  That is because all of the ones that I know of do not include source code. They use an open source OS, but only the ISO is available from the website.

You've clearly not seen Knoppix.
http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html

All the sources are on the CD and if not there are available for download
from http://www.knopper.net/download/knoppix/

Knoppix is a very useful boot cd for forensic work especially if you like to
do manual poking around, as by defult it mounts the local disks read only so
that the file's atime settings won't be modified accidentally.

Also of interest, and knoppix based is a project Morphix
http://morphix.sourceforge.net/modules/news/

Lets you easily customise your boot cd.
