To solve this problem, we are tasked with finding the inverse Laplace transform of the given function:

\[
L^{-1} \left\{ \frac{2s^2 - 4}{(s+1)(s-2)(s-3)} \right\}.
\]

### Steps:
1. **Simplify the expression:**
   First, factor the numerator \(2s^2 - 4\):
   \[
   2s^2 - 4 = 2(s^2 - 2) = 2(s - \sqrt{2})(s + \sqrt{2}).
   \]
   However, since the denominator involves simple linear factors, the best approach is **partial fraction decomposition**.

2. **Perform partial fraction decomposition:**
   We want to express:
   \[
   \frac{2s^2 - 4}{(s+1)(s-2)(s-3)} = \frac{A}{s+1} + \frac{B}{s-2} + \frac{C}{s-3}.
   \]
   Multiply both sides by \((s+1)(s-2)(s-3)\) to get:
   \[
   2s^2 - 4 = A(s-2)(s-3) + B(s+1)(s-3) + C(s+1)(s-2).
   \]
   
3. **Solve for constants \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\):**
   Expand the right-hand side and then match coefficients of powers of \(s\) to solve for \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\).

4. **Take the inverse Laplace transform of each term:**
   Once the partial fractions are determined, the inverse Laplace transform of each term can be found using standard Laplace transform pairs:
   \[
   L^{-1} \left\{ \frac{A}{s + 1} \right\} = A e^{-t},
   \]
   \[
   L^{-1} \left\{ \frac{B}{s - 2} \right\} = B e^{2t},
   \]
   \[
   L^{-1} \left\{ \frac{C}{s - 3} \right\} = C e^{3t}.
   \]

Let's compute this step by step.
