I found out that Radio-Active dabbled in Linux years ago and introduced him to Ubuntu Linux when we were doing the brakes on my Miata.
Anyone here a Linux user? What distros, if you want to share?
I use Ubuntu Linux 7.04 on my laptop and desktop machines. I am about to set-up a Kubuntu Linux machine for my parents, so I won't have to deal with headaches of maintenance or virus attacks as well as a system in their language.
My laptop dual boots (as well as has an Ubuntu 7.04 VM). My wife's laptop & desktop are 7.04. I have a couple servers running on 6.06.
Sweet! You wouldn't happen to be on the Ubuntu Dallas forum, would you?
Nope... it works well enough that I just use it. Not a Linux "enthusiast" per se. Just take advantage of that which works... So that I have time for Miatas... and RX8's... and bicycles... and 1/8th scale buggies... and Forza 2 (Demo launches at 3 AM CDT!!!!)
which distro do you want. ive got about 20
I use a couple of boot from CD versions for doing security testing... main OS is still Winders tho...
All the good tools are on Linux ;)

I have a copy of Back|Track2 but it doesn't like my Dell laptop's widescreen resolution... :(Quote:

Now, if you have a good recommendation of comprehensive security suite compatible with widescreen laptops that run as Live CD's... Do share!
mandriva is always a good one and works very well with the laptops ive used it on. then again it is the fattest of all the distros and will work on a microwave if you want it to.
and ive got a copy of linspire thats bootable cd and ive got a copy of f.i.r.e. but thats probably not what youre looking for.
i dunno really ill look around a bit more, if i get the time ill just make you a distro with the packages you want.
Packing a distro would work, just widescreen support and comprehensive security auditing tools on a Live CD are the main things I am looking for.
Agreed on Mandriva... That one is a beast!
