OK, I got inquisitor 3.1beta2 and I will try it on my boxes, but honestly I think there has been quite of "paradigm shift" and I couldn't see how it covers the kinds of "use cases" (let's call it that ;-)) that I mentioned. BTW, have you thought of including DTrace?
The assumptions that initially justified, say, knoppix' functional niche have changed nowadays. How could you protect yourself (at least being conscious of it to the point of being able to easily gauge/sense/prove it to some extent and manage those kinds of (as NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly calls them)) "lawful efforts" without going mad? (which is what they want) How could you, for example, protect yourself from a black bag job inside your apartment to reset the BIOS in your boxes and routers to then remotely own them or not even that but doing it through your ISP? (which in the US, like any other business, must all submit to snitching) Of course, my work-hose box is not connected to the Internet at all but I was using a KVM box to just share the monitor and "things" started happening real soon and the KVM box started to malfunction ... there is not a box I have own that I remember that hasn't had sound card problems ... Once I watched a youtube feed in which some dude showed how you can monitor "noise" in your telephone lines using Linux ... those are the kinds of things I have in mind Say you go to a public library and each time you try to unsuccessfully connect to the Internet for more than one minute you get kicked off, then you switch to WEP hacking spoofing your MAC address as a way to prove that "it is about you". There are provisions in the law that address cases in which the only way you have to prove a greater wrong is doing something "illegal" as long as there is no criminal intention and no harmful consequences whatsoever and you obviously and visibly do it to prove your point in front of their own clerks, who have told me "support" would not take their calls if other people are online just fine ... >> A la Orson Wells 1984 > You mean George Orwell I actually did lbrtchx -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
