Tin Hat
http://opensource.dyc.edu/tinhat
http://freshmeat.net/projects/tinhat

Rather, Tin Hat is a massive image (approx. 2.3GB) which loads into tmpfs upon booting. One pays the prices of long boot times (5 minutes off CD, 2 minutes off pen drives), but the advantage afterwords is that there are no delays going back to the CD when starting applications. Needless to say, this has some rather extreme advantages and disadvantages, making Tin Hat a rather particular distribution. Tin Hat was added to the list with the release of 20080830. Tin Hat 20110613 is out.
