I'll be forced to politely disagree with Simon, as we have been able to do Linux and make it small and fast.
Of Course this fixes all of the device driver and network connection issues he mentions. It's amazing what can be done when we set our mind to it. Of course since Simon hasn't implemented it like we have, the entire last section is untrue and in accurate - But that is the experience that comes with doing.

No, we don't load network drivers (though we could) simply because we don't need them and to do so woud open up exploits. Also, what drivers would you load anyway? There are hundreds of different network cards.. Remember - we're trying to be small and fast.. As for the dynamic RSA tokens - you probably realise they only work if you have a network connection to an ACE server, so again, no. We support things like the SID800 though which work stand alone. Imagine how hard it would be to support a user with a RSA C/R token working in a hotel over a VPN. We'd need a network stack, card drivers, probably a WIFI stack, VPN, web browser (to allow them to sign into the hotel wifi network) plus the ACE software - might as well just let them load windows and use SafeBoot Content Encryption instead.

If so, does it load network drivers?
