Since Tails is currently being recommended for counter-forensics purposes, we should explicitly state what issues they have in terms of that. One known issue that Tails has is that it does not erase video memory upon a restart (only on a shutdown).

When you restart your computer after using Tails, it might briefly display the last screen that was displayed in Tails.
