'''DAVIX''' is a [[Live CD]] based on [[Slackware]] for the purposes of [[computer security]] operations.  The distribution focuses on data analysis and visualization <ref>The Davix Live CD - http://www.secviz.org/content/the-davix-live-cd</ref>. DAVIX stands for Data Analysis and VIsualization linuX. It is the first Live CD to integrate so many visualization tools. The long-term goal for the distribution is to provide a good set of tools supporting the complete process of visual data analysis.
