My new toy!!!

[pukn]

Well Geeks and Geekettes,

I would direct your attention to my new toy. Salivate as much as you like!

Bitchin! (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230103&Tpk=Asus%20G74S)

So far, I've dual booted it with Ubuntu 11.04 and I've also installed Backtrack5 on a USB stick. My justification for the purchase is I needed a machine powerful enough for some side gigs that have recently come up...

That's pretty killer! Had no idea you could cram that much RAM into a laptop, I have 4GB in both my work one and my own, both have i5's. Shit that's more RAM than my workstation at home, I only have 8G in that and that has dual xeons. Always need more RAM, I use all of my RAM at work setting up test environments on VMWare.

Yeah, no kidding right? I may do some testing with VirtualBox and some other distros... Right now, I"m having a good time goofing around with BT5 and scanning a friend's network(with perm of course...)

I liked BT up to version 2, then they changed to Ubuntu and it hacked me off so now for an out of the box security distro I use Fedora Security spin, which is well worth a look: http://spins.fedoraproject.org/security

Thanks buddy, I'll have me a look.

12 GIGs of RAM! Jeez that's some maxed out laptop. Enjoy.

It came with 12GB, it can support up to 16Gigs...
