    One of these comments in one of the blaster articles had a url to Blaster source code. Anyone want to de-fang it, and throw on an anti-Blaster app? Chances are the stuff that's been hit isn't secured against it yet, so simply hitting it with a modified Blaster should get rid of it, right?

    2000 could. Strip all of the options and it'd be 750MB. Somehow strip IE and use LiteStep then you could fit lightweight tools on.

    Windows 95 fits in under 4MB. There was an article on a 4.47MB distro, but right after that the one I mentioned appeared.

    BTW, the name creator packages take keywords, add their own, and give you a name. So if Efficient was a keyword, I would get names containing the word efficient. (BTW, EfficieonSex was one I got by using Efficieon)

    (replying to my own post - forgot something)
    I once had an Apple PowerBook 180 (I don't trust Apple because of that box - took 6 months to fall apart and need a $300 mobo swap), and the manual said that turning off the backlight used 2/3 the power of the laptop with full backlighting. That's why I said what I said in the parent post.

    For that matter, just use B&W active matrix. No backlight needed unless you're in a low light situation.

    Never mind that the Opteron is a whole different class of CPU (64-bit as opposed to 32-bit). Wanna bet that it'll whip a 3200+ (forgot the real speed) Athlon XP, too? Besides, Intel is making their CPUs with the highest clock speeds that they can, by killing the efficiency of the CPU. Look at a Pentium-M and a P4-M at the same speed. The P-M will kill the P4-M. For that matter, try a 1.4GHz and 1.6GHz Celeron. The 1.4 is based on the P3, whereas the 1.6 is based on the P4. I read somewhere that the 1.4 would beat the 1.6.

    Her server runs Apache on Linux with OK uptime (as opposed to Windows), but she herself uses Windows (looks like stock Dell XP - the PC is a Dell, and the Windows logo in IE looks like an XP logo).

    Better yet:

    export-config.bat:
    @ECHO OFF
    regedit /e:a puttynew.reg HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY
    copy puttynew.reg putty.reg
    del puttynew.reg

    This exports the registry key, but doesn't delete it. Use it on a computer you want to keep PuTTY on.

    cleanup-config.bat:

    @ECHO OFF
    regedit /e:a puttynew.reg HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY
    copy puttynew.reg putty.reg
    del puttynew.reg
    cd "Program Files\PuTTY"
    putty -cleanup

    This one adds putty -cleanup, which tells PuTTY to wipe it's config settings. Use it on a public PC. Better than wiping the stuff using REGEDIT, as PuTTY stores some SSH stuff in the Windows directory or the home directory (depends on whether you're using 9x/ME or NT/2k/XP/2k3 - home directory is usually at C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\ on 2k/XP/2k3)

    import-config.bat:

    @ECHO OFF
    regedit /s putty.reg

    More simple, huh? You don't need to import the deletion key for this - I tried wiping the ExecPC entry on putty.reg, wiping my own PC's entry via REGEDIT, and then importing, and both were there.
