It is the only CD designed from the ground up with forensics in mind. In the interest of full disclosure my company did develop some of the initial tools included on this CD. The CD is not free. Also, there is an interesting thread on a Yahoo group called linux forensics where it was clear that the Helix folks made no effort to fix blatant, obvious errors in their tools. Worth researching. Just my 0.02. I’d like to draw your attention to http://www.forensicbootcd.com. It is the only CD designed from the ground up with forensics in mind.
