### Special Feature ###
# Virtual TPM is supported on Xen and KVM/QEMU. The virtual machines 
  are used for Trusted Computing.
# The LiveCD of trusted computing (GRUB-IMA, Linux-IMA kernel,
  TrouSerS 0.3.1, OpenPTS 0.1.2), which was called "KNOPPIX for Trusted
  Computing Geeks" is included.
# TPM Checker, which shows the status of TPM, is included. 
# FailSafe-C, vx32, LLVM(Low Level Virtual Machine), which are the
  compiler for security and dynamic optimization, are included.
# Secure virtual machine monitor "BitVisor 0.2" is updated to 0.3. 
# Internet boot loader "InetBoot" is included. 
    The GRUB Menu includes items of InetBoot for old VMKnoppix/Xenoppix. 
# Network bootloader "gPXE" is included. It deals with normal PXE and 
HTTP/iSCSI boot. 
# Internet Client "OS Circular" is included.
    It enables to boot some Linux Distributions {CentOS5 |Debian Etch|
    Ubuntu606 |Ubuntu610 |Ubuntu704} on a virtual machine {Xen|QEMU|KQEMU|KVM} 
    with Internet Virtual Disk "Trusted HTTP-FUSE CLOOP".
