D-Link DWL-G630 WiFi Card

[John van V.]

Thank you, Ben

I am personally a strong believer in the security and usability strengths of
live CDs.  For many years, I modified the Devil-Linux distribution from being
an IPTABLES platform to having text-only desktop capabilities.  In my version,
only applications, such as GCC would reside on the hard drive.

I don't think I would be able to re-engineer a full blown distribution, such as
Ubuntu, to do the same in any reasonable amount of time.

Thanks again, John
