A couple of interesting things seen in newsletters today. First there’s today’s Spyware Info Weekly which talks about accusations of reverse engineering and fraud among different anti-spyware apps. Interesting stuff, I think we’d all do well to make sure we aren’t using a fake spyware killer.

Then, from today’s LangaList comes a pointer to Fred’s InformationWeek column about white-box, or generic, PC’s as compared to name brand PC’s. Good stuff.

    Oh yeah the Knoppix CD has been burned and I did do a quick boot using it on my work machine, just to make sure I had a good CD. The setup didn’t find any soundcard. I’ve yet to have any Linux install configure the integrated audio on any of my PC’s that have that….
