    I've looked around, and I would really like something that has the following capabilities:
    
    - tct
    - ability to nfs mount
    - ability to configure run-time with a syslog host (secure)
    - a complete set of IDS tools, including tripwire, etc.
    - a complete set of tools to allow partition copying, 
    	checksumming, netcat, and anything possibly 
    	needed to do a full analysis
    - low footprint.
    
    Most of the kits I've seen are geared to fit on a small cd.  I'm not
    too concerned with that, as I figure I'd rather have too many tools,
    rather than not enough.
    
    The PLAC CD seems to be closest, in that I can always create a CD
    with the binaries I might need, boot diskless, then mount the tool CD.
    
    I haven't checked yet to see if I can do NFS mounting with the PLAC CD, though.
    
    Anyone know if that is possible?
    
    Any other ideas, or comments?
    
    Thanks,
    JJ

    Freedom is an all-or-nothing proposition:  either we 
    are completely free, or we are subjects of a
    tyrannical system.  If we lose one freedom in a
    thousand, we become completely subjugated.
