Also registered. Didn't know there was a fee on the door, odd. I'll be looking around for plastic pineapples >:P

Loving the gnome theme, Vickiwong. Props to gcninja for the bleach backgrounds :P Also dr0p has a nice desktop, for windows ofc. I change my wallpapers a lot, but I don't really mess around with my themes all that much. I've stopped using compiz and emerald, for simplicity.

Anyone from the Hak5 community heading down to the Linux Live Expo in London this year?

Are Hak5 selling the plastic pineapples btw?

Been thinking about buying a couple of these, they are practically giving them away now. My servers are old Dell GX280s and they have overheating problems, so they're dying. Was considering using a couple of old xboxes maybe. Just as a torrent server n stuff, nothing exciting. That is of course assuming you can install a nice CLI Linux distro on there, not just the media centre stuff.

Just ordered an Atheros wifi card for my EEE901, so I should be able to give karmetasploit a good try. The default wifi card doesn't support wifi injection, so I didn't get very far before.

I'm watching digininja's Twitter for status updates on the cracking. With great anticipation, since my Fon+ is in the mail :P

Lmao, love this thread. The big bible and the "Just tell um to FO" ideas were the best imo :P Personally I've been thinking where I can hide the FON without covering the antenna. Could just leave it in your bag I suppose o_0

In the UK it\'s cheaper to buy a Fon+ from Dabs than it is directly from FON. This is down to cheaper postage. Comes up to 33 squids. Just ordered myself a Fon+, so I hope they do work okay ^_^ [update] Just arrived! Huge box and all...

Really happy with my EEE901. The only downside is that wifi injection isn't possible with this card yet.

Seems the old FON2100s are available in the UK through an amazon seller. The only router on the UK site is the Le Fonera+ (Comes with 2 Ethernet Ports) On the other European sites, you can also buy Le Fonera 2.0 Beta (Comes with 2 Ethernet Ports and a USB Port)

I'm also in the UK, and I'd also like to know this ^^ Is La Fonera+ Jasager compatible? Because that's the only version available online in the UK shop. If not, does anyone know where I can get hold of an old model Fon in the UK? Cheers

Everyone is being so harsh to the poor guy. Yes I agree he's a newb. But what better way to learn, than to try? Have a play wth LFS or DFS, as suggested above. It can be fun, and you'll more than likely learn a thing or two about Linux along the way. I don't know of any eBooks, but this site is quite a useful resource.

Mumble is a very good FOSS alternative to Ventrilo. The quality is much better than TeamSpeak, and it has a few features Ventrilo could gain from 'borrowing', including Raid implementation (for MMORPGs), and OpenGL Overlay (which I think the newer Vent may have now?).

Karmasploit ^^ Karma alone wouldn't be as fun.

Specs wise, the only netbook that makes sense to me is the EEE PC 901. 6cell battery is the big seller here, also the large solid-state hard drive, and the high-res (for a netbook) webcam - oh, and did I forget to mention the Intel Atom processor? :). The size/weight and price are all still netbook-ish (unlike higher models like the 1000), and every other brand has poorer specs. I've ordered one myself, should be here Friday morning. ^^

Just had a play with Pocket-Knife (Non U3 version). I find it a lot more useful than the standalone stuff found here. I did get a No Disc error, which only went away after I disabled the Floppy disk drive. Also, there was a pop-up to set a VNC password. Shouldn't VNC setup be completely silent?
