Openwall GNU/*/Linux (Owl) - changes made between 1.0 and 1.1

CDs are bootable on x86 and include a live system, x86 binary packages for installation to a hard disk, and full source code which may be rebuilt with one simple command ("make buildworld"). Security tools such as John the Ripper and Nmap are usable right off the CD, without requiring a hard disk, -- and indeed they're also available with Owl installs you make.
