You might want to try eBox, if you want something a little more flexible.

captive portal + RADIUS server

But can it divide by zero?

Just unsolder it off the board and by a cheap RP-SMA antenna extender cable of Ebay for like $1, cut the end off you don't need and solder it too the board. Its cheaper and easier to just by a made up cable and cut one end off.

Totally agree. I've used Ubuntu before and kinda liked it. I now am a big fan of BT.
See BT is the only distribution I don't like, but I think an OS should be a base that is there to allow the user to builds his/her tool list, from source, via a package manager or any other means, but still have a basic/general software list that allows you to use it out the box.
My main issue with BT is its like handing a loaded gun to a 5 year old, sure it might be entertaining at first but at some point its going to get messy. Don't get me wrong the hand gun should still exist, its just that you should have to at least put it together yourself.

you should be happy with me, i said fbsd as well
also arch's wiki and aur/repo's are pretty much best ive seen tbh
At least you didn't say LFS, I'd just think you were a troll.

Ahhh, the 90's, I remember pirating software back then, it used to be a commitment, not a pastime. 2hrs for a single MP3, weeks for an episode of the Simpsons.
Yes the days when you were happy with a pornographic photo that took a minute or so to load

Agree, much as I love FreeBSD, its terrible on laptops (or as a desktop). Gentoo is a circle jerk, Linux has yet to make a desktop OS that is as good as Windows 7.
What Linux is missing as a desktop OS is native software. I dislike Open Office but its passable for the task, but the market is not big enough or has a call for things like NI multisim for doing multilayer circuit designs and simulation (you can do design), or really a massive area of specialist applications. The same could be said for OSX but that's on its own hardware (even know its technically the same) and people don't expect to be able to do the same tasks or software. WIne is okay but it does not work with everything and is not ideal for a lot of things.

It was the early 90's, dial up internet was very expensive and so were phone calls. You learned because you had too.

whats with you people and ubuntu *shudders
ubuntu is a horrid distro, have you looked at thier community user base? its filled with "not very smart people"
use something like gentoo, fbsd or arch linux
Linux is Linux, only open source zealots and people that don't know enough give a shit. Ubuntu fits on one CD, its fast and easy to install and has the features of every "advanced user" Linux if you want them. They don't remove the possibility to compile software from source, rebuild your Kernel and customize every aspect of the OS if you want. Its Linux for the real world, for people that have better things to do, or just don't give a fuck to get every ounce of performance out of the hardware i.e. Gentoo users. You can still do that if you want but you don't need too.
I went through a phase of trying different Linux distributions in the 90's and early 2000's and still see whats about today, but it really does not matter what you use. If you want security, Linux is not the best pick, but you can always enable SELinux features or use Bastille.
If we are going to tar an entire community with the same brush, we could call all Windows users retards, but guess what, most hardware designers, coders, mathematicians, physicist and so on use it.
If we are going to talk about the BSD's, well we are talking about a different OS, we may as well be talking about QNX, Open Solaris or any other number of OS, which all have there merits, but in my opinion don't make a great Laptop OS.

The whole idea is pointless, just buy a netbook or any laptop, install Ubuntu or any other Linux distro. Swap out the wireless card with a cheap Atheros mini pci/e card. Install Karma or use karmetasploit.

If you are going to throw that much money down you may as well get a Nokia n900 and get something with a better spec. Maybe if it was x86 it would have a point.

I won't be making it to Defcon this year but probably next year all being well.
However it is looking increasingly like I'll be attending The Next Hope in NYC this year. Anyone planning on getting to this?
I thought about it but its a little too political, plus as Defcon and HOPE are in the same month its not that easy for me to get that much time off.

Is there usually a lot of people flying in from abroad for the conference?
Well the times I've been I've heard a handful of British accents, but I'd think there is never more than 100 Brits at the con at most, although its a hard thing to judge as its a big conference with a lot of people. With the state of the economy I'd think more would not be making the trip but I know about 12 people that say they are going to fly out.
I'm there from 27 July to 2 Aug

I seem to know a lot of Brits that are flying out this year.
-
Booked my flights and hotel the other day. I didn't bother going to last years, thought I'd drag my ass out there this year. So anyone else planning on going?

The Mio (formally Navman GPS) Literpad netbook, has a 3.5G modem and GPS built in, on top of the normal netbook tech spec. There fairly cheap too.

Have you gotten the autowep plugin to actually crack a key yet? I set up a machine streaming radio for packets and gave up after a couple days.
No mate, not tried it. I only really use it to add to Wiggle.

When you are in Kismet, if you select an AP and press 'c' you can see the clients connected to that AP:
If the AP is not encrypted, or if you know the encryption key, you can also see the IP address of each client as well as the manufacturer of their wireless card and MAC address. Nifty stuff, for sure.
Are you all using old builds of Kismet?
The new interface is much easer to use, supports Bluetooth and other plugins.

Ubiquiti Networks have some decent kit for this. Look at the PowerStation AP.
Is just so they can browse the web on the beach or is it for a business of some sorts? Because they will probably need some more powerful kit on the client end.
1. Yes use Ubiquiti kit
2. It does not need to be amplified and it will introduce more uneeded noise.
3. Use sector antennas

It's not arm. Apple created a custom SoC they called the A4.
Yeah just reading about it, the other sites I was looking at said it was an ARM based chip.
-
looks like its using an ARM based chip, so even if you did root it you can't install good Apple application. If it had been using an Intel chip of some kind and a OSX based base with a new slick GUI, it might be worth buying.
-
Rule of thumb is you never ever buy the first revision of any Apple product as its all ways got bugs. Besides its just a big ipod touch.
Pfsense Vs Untangle?

Whatever you go with you may want to set up Xplico as its a really slick, good looking way of seeing what people are doing on the network.
