  1. I was looking for a scan that was in one of the episodes, I believe it was this one but i am not finding it. it was a scanner that you could basicly search the web for info on yourself or whoever really. if i remember right they did a scan on darren and it connected his facebook or myspace to soem other sites he was on. If anyone can help me out here that would be great. i was going to use it for a presentation on online security for class

  2. i boot up, login as root and enter the startx command I get:

    /usr/X11R6/bin/Xauth:  creathing new authority file /root/Xauthority

    xauth: (stdin) :1:  bad display name ":0" in add command

    and it repeats itself like five times then tells me server names are Xorg  and  something else i cant remember right now.

    I know i have to configure the x server but i dont really now how and google is not being friendly on this either.

  3. I have Linux for dummies 3rd edition (with Red Hat 7 on 3-Cds), Windows Vista the definitive Guide, a Guide to MySQL (needed it for class), Suse Linux enterprise serve administration, VBscript WMI and ADSI (also have it on PDF if your interested) Guide to Computer Forensics and Investigations 2nd edition, Counter Hack Reloaded excelent for the beginer, and my fav is The Hacker Diaries Confessions of the teenage Hackers by dan verton. not much how to knowlage but very entertaining and inspiring for anyone dealing with computers and networks.

  4. I have Ubuntu 7. 10 installed on my gateway M285-E notebook.  it was simple and everything works great.  ubuntu however is too simple for me, i want to configure my system how i want it.  i have downloaded and attempted installs of Gentoo, Slackware, Suse10. 3, fedora, Free BSD, Backtrack2 and 3beta,  and a few other flavors.  Suse and Fedora installed with few problems.  the others it seemed did not like my grafix card (ATI Radeon Mobility x1400).  I really would like to playaround with some of these other Linux flavors though.

    If anyone can help me out, point me to some step by step tutorials on configuring these systems it would be helpfull to say the least.  I am someone of a novist with Linux yet but i am learning quickly.
