whoa- is this the dozen’th post with this title? anyway, welcome to eh-net. i won’t be able to give you advice on the hacker part, but for a good linux beginner’s distro, ubuntu is the best. it is very easy to use, and comes with an introduction to the CLI. you can even order a free cd from the site.

oh- and it’s not vista, it’s the kind of laptop i have.

and it is li-ion, not lion

jason was probably one of those irritating 7-yr olds who follow you around, imitating your every word.

can anybody tell jason to shut up? 🙁

Dude if you even know anything about computers, you would know that no OS is secure. ;D ;D
