I've installed the latest Knoppix on my notebook. It's a really good way 
to install a Debian GNU/Linux!

I'm trying to learn more about wardriving and wireless network security 
at the moment. I'm bitting for Orinoco Gold PCMCIA cards with external 
antennas on ebay. Has anyone of you made any good or bad experiences 
with Orinoco Gold cards on Linux? First I was looking for Prism2 cards, 
but as I couldn't find any with interfaces for external antennas I 
decided to get an Orinoco Gold. I know there are many howtos on how to 
build one yourself, but I just don't want to do that.

AFAIK Iain was going to find a venue somewhere near Lincoln for the end 
of February. We should start planning! I won't be in England at that 
time, but will do my best to support you all.

Bye,

Marc
