Banks eye bootable Linux CDs

Banks eye bootable Linux CDs: ZDNet Australia: News: Security

Cybersource also includes Firefox as the browser. Are we thinking outside the square or what? I can remember crashing my computer really badly a while back and I used Knoppix to resurrect it. I was really impressed. It was a lot less clunky than all the Windows stuff , had a smooth interface and the thing which impressed me the most was it had available all sorts of help and support and possibilities for vision iimpaired people. I confess it wasn't intuitive like Windows, but Windows is familiar ground. That fact I had myself up and running with Knoppix in a relatively short time led me to believe it was a good programme. When I got XP going, where most of my stuff runs, I couldn't get the computer to run with Knoppix as well. It just became very cantankerous if I booted into Knoppix. I tried "lindows" as it was called then and I still had no joy. So my grand plan was to get a computer and set it up as a Linux based computer...well, my plan is still on the back burner! I got all the Mandrake stuff and a book to go with it and am all set to go. Time is what I need.
