    umm btw i did some checking and Linen is in fact the LINUX VERSION OF ENCASE written by the EnCase folks (and i think you get a copy of linen on the disc with the Windows version of Encase)

    i would say that since the tools needed for aquiring the evidence are on the disc (includes an encase image tool) you could use these to get your evidence and then move the data to a computer with Encase installed to do the reports and case work.

  13. whats funny is how ready Linux is ready for art on Why Consumer Macs Are Enterprise-Worthy · · Score: 2, Interesting

    if you run the roll call of movies that use linux systems for major parts of the productions you would have a very long list

    ILM has a huge linux renderfarm
    a good chunk of the workstations use linux software [-- this is in a good number of movie houses

    you don't want your system to suddenly decide to go into "lockout mode" when you have a mega million dollar movie on the line
    and besides if you think about it "Star Trek : Nemesis" was cgi'd on linux systems so yes it it ready for (the uss ) Enterprise

    okay what i would suggest is distros code a "im a windows convert please make it look like windows" selection in the welcome applet

    1 scan the existing windows install and id programs

    3 put a My Computer icon on the desktop (this would be the KD media:/ window)

    a few things i would do to fix a great many thing about our school system

    1 any time some bill has funds earmarked for "education" anything resulting in that money being spent for anything else gets somebody run out of office/in prison
    (and a certain percentage say 10% is the max allowed for "administration" everything else is either spent on the classroom or school level (on stuff that helps multiple classrooms))

    2 a legal team (to include LEOs) is assigned to each school (say 1 lawyer +2 paras +12 LEOs per 100 students) and all school lawsuits are to be solved AT THE SCHOOL LEVEL (or lowest common level)

    3 doing any felony level crime on school grounds (or into school grounds) gets you shot on site (to disable if possible)

    4 LEOs assigned to schools are to be armed (and trained to SWAT+ levels) with 1 out of 10 carrying anti-armour rounds in their primary weapon (everybody else has prefragged ammo (air marshall ammo))

    5 LEOs will also have low power stunners for use WHEN ABSOLUTELY NEEDED on students (you stun a kid you fill out a 7 page report on the how why and what for by hand in tripilcate and it must be readable, shoot a kid and its a 15 page report in quadrupilcate and a fifth grade teacher gets to grade your work)

    6 pay the teachers what you need to (see number 1 for how to pay for this)
