| has gloss | eng: Tin Hat is a Linux distribution derived from hardened Gentoo Linux. It aims to provide a very secure, stable, and fast desktop environment that lives purely in RAM . Tin Hat boots from CD, or optionally from USB flash drive, but it is not a LiveCD in that it does not mount any file system from the boot device. Rather, Tin Hat employs a massive SquashFS image which expands into tmpfs upon booting. This makes for long boot times, but remarkable speeds during human-computer interaction. |
