    Nope, he had .com, not .org.  It'll work without the triple dub.
    
    Knoppix (from knoppix.net and knopper.net) and Knoppix-std
    (knoppix-std.org) both have nessus installed.  There's not much difference
    between the two if all you want to use is nessus, however, STD has a lot
    more goodies in it as well, so I'd definitely recommend it over plain
    knoppix for security work.
    
    There's a fair amount of effort going into STD as far as identifying and
    adding more security tools (it doesn't have as many programs as FIRE does
    yet, but being based on knoppix, I think the underlying system is nicer).
    Additionally, other projects like a two-click snort/acid interface, and
    newbie-friendly documentation on security topics are being worked on. One
    of the goals of STD is to gather together a large amount of tools and
    introduce new people to them in an easy to use manner, as well as being a
    powerful toolbox for anyone who already is comfortable with the tools.
    
    Both vanilla and std have some really nice features, like using an
    encrypted home directory mounted from a usb thumb drive, setting up a
    'terminal server' (dhcpd, tftpd configured to allow automatic netbooting
    of other devices on the lan).
