	I suggest that you investigate CAINE Ubuntu Linux:

	A)  http://www.caine-live.net/

	B)  http://www.linux-magazine.com/w3/issue/122/032-034_caine.pdf

CAINE is actually _two_ distributions: one that can be used for "live" 
forensic analysis of a running Windows machine, and one that can be 
installed to a hard disk drive and then run as a normal, Linux system.
