A month ago, I found a .deb for Rekall, version 2.2.0-beta4-2.
I can't seem to find the package again, but the maintainer listed
through apt-cache show is:
Maintainer: Edgar Jasper < develop at edgar dot org dot uk >
I can't say much about the program because I haven't used it
extensively. Hopefully the email address will help.
