Absolutely.   I don't run BT normally, but I do have it on a fast SD card.   It runs just fine.   I would only suggest that you pop an extra 1GB of RAM if yours comes with 1GB RAM.  It made the world of a difference on mine.

I would agree with hayabusa.   Most employers, especially in HR, wouldn't know what the OSCP certification is.  They are only aware of the standards, like CISSP and Security+.   However, if you resume made it to your future direct supervisor, he/she will likely know and appreciate the OSCP certication if you are applying for a pen-testing position.   In other words, I think that the OSCP may open a second door for you, once you already through the front door.

So you don't think there is 'hands-on' in Offsec's training???  I can assure you, there's plenty.  That's what the lab packages are for, and the 24-hour long practical, hands-on exam, at the end.  I'm starting Offsec's OSCP v3 this Sunday.  I'll let you know more of my thoughts, thereafter, but others have already spoken to the validity of their training.

And I believe there are labs with eLearnSec's stuff, too...

<edit> no offense intended, just wondering why you'd think as you did, that's all...
