Linux powered TreCorder speeds up data collection at crime scenes
,----[ Quote ]
| Does this mean that we will be seeing a TreCorder on CSI some time soon? Will
| Gil Grissom become a lInux geek as well as an insect freak? Seriosuly though,
| anything that can speed up the forensic data collection process has got to be
| a good thing. It should help bring more bad bad guys to justice in less time,
| and save money as a result.

| Ben Collins expressed some concerns about the decision to

| t is wise, or even needed. Fork it, clean it up, but rewriting
| just doesn't make sense."
