HELLO LAZYWEB

Interesting problem with tiny devices like the EEE (those running XP, anyway).

You want to be secure against attack, an anti-vir is pretty much a necessity, mal-ware scanning preferable.

However, if you go the Windows Updates route to protecting yourself and making sure you wee super-portable deck doesn't catch the Mange and start infecting everyone else and fucking up your home LAN after you take it out in public (fnar!) then you could wind up with precious hundreds of megabytes being gobbled up by lousy patches and updates.

Given that I can image and back-up very easily (it's only GOT 4gb system space) then I am thinking about a small, fast firewall that I can teach what's legit and what is not.

So, firstly: thoughts? ("go back to Linux" is redundant, I will put a flavour of linux on for public network usage when that will suffice)

Secondly, a tiny (free?) windows firewall that I can train up?

Ta!

BITCH!

Our very dear friend, Kerry bought an EEE today, having liked the look of mine.

Being a WRETCHED AND TREACHEROUS LESBIAN, she found a fucking BLACK one.

At the SAME PC World as i got mine.

But, it has a stuck pixel that we can't seem to free. So. Just deserts.

I put XP on hers, too, worked a treat 2nd time also. I will document t' process soon.

Then I might just shut the fuck up about EEEs or move my babble to asuseee, as I'm sure you've all had enough of it by now.

I should get a fucking amazon commision link up or something. gah!
