Check out Pentabarf. It is the Software that was used to organise the Chaos Communication Congress and the upcoming What The Hack conference.
I don't know if the software fullfills all your needs but it might be worth a look.
Btw. the project page is in german only, right now, so you may want to access it with some mean of translation.
I used to love Microserfs. After I read "Accidental Empires" by Cringley (another great book by the way), my enthusiasm partly vanished. It is rather obvious that Coupland has read Accidental Empires before writing mircoserfs and used it as his primary source of research. All the bits and pices of geek-stuff that made Microserfs a fun read, seem to come straight out of Cringleys book.
Don't get me wrong, Microserfs is still worth reading, but it leaves a sour aftertaste.
We've got a security-lab here at the University of Hamburg, Germany. We deal with viruses mostly but also with other security-related stuff.
If you are planing on working with malware, make shure that your are able to separate your lab-network from the world outside completly. This is the only way to enshure that you wont become a virri-multiplier on accident.
Our lab has got the possibility to form 3 independent networks within, using redundant switches. Only one of those networks is connected to the internet. We also use dedicated SCSI-discs for each project in addition to VMware.

Super Mario Land on the original GB comes to mind.
I agree with you.
