Max Inflixion here from outside of Detroit, Michigan in the US.
Linux user for almost 3 years now, but like many others still am tethered to Windows on at least one machine.  I have to VPN thru work, and am working on doing so thru a virtual machine, but it really slows things down.
Currently run Ubuntu 7.10 on an AMD x2 4200 desktop, Ubuntu 7.10 on a P4 laptop, SLAX thru Qemu on my thumbdrive, and Nokia Tablet os2007 on my Nokia n800.
The other three machines in the house run Windows for the family.

SLAX

Slax is a live CD distro based on Slackware.  It runs really well off of a decent sized thumbdrive.

Cool. I will have to check

Cool. I will have to check it out! I've always thought about putting a bunch of forensics utilities, like what is on helix, on a thumbdrive so that you could pull data, like hard drive images off a machine and analyze it.
