Cool on "snort". I just checked up on whether it is
on the www.trinux.org page and it is mentioned there
as a package.

I have been playing with trinux the past couple days
on my Thinkpad. It runs on ramdisk and has options on
floppy or cdrom install. It is promoted as a good
security system. You heard of it?

I think I will experiment with some of the packages.
If you go to the page there is a list. Any recommendations
on "favorites" anyone?

At some point I would like to get a wireless cardbus
card for my laptop and cruise around looking for
public/private access points. Can anyone suggest a good
place to start for info? software? Any good stories?
