Now here’s the cooler part. I booted by laptop from my generic Micro Center 2 gig drive ( which retails for about 15 bucks ) and everything worked nicely. I had network / internet connectivity and a host of awesome applications installed by default.
GAIM
KDE ( my favorite )
Nessus
Wireshark
AirSNORT
ssh
samba
terminal server
& a lot of other cool junk too!
