This week's techmail is Get a complete security toolkit with BackTrack 3. I was approached a month or so ago by an individual who does forensic work, mostly on Windows and Mac computers and he was in need of something to do forensics with Linux, and wanted a tool that …

This past week's Techmail was Install extra packages on the ASUS Eee PC which discusses adding extra Xandros repositories to get more packages on the Eee PC than what the standard install provides.

This week's TechMail is entitled Installing Mandriva 2008.1 on the ASUS Eee PC, which, as the name implies, discusses Mandriva 2008.1 on the ASUS Eee PC.
