Yes. Corporate networks must be kept at a certain level of insecurity, else the boss gets pissy. :D

--- Quote from: Aloone_Jonez ---What make me laugh is at work we have a few Linux/Unix machines and we're not allowed to connect them to the network for security reasons.:D This is because the network was security approved by an external body and they didn't include Linux in their approval which is very silly.
Being a company that works on MOD contracts we should be running Linux/UNIX on all our machines. I suspect the reason we're not is because Linux won't run all the software we use and the retards in the IT department are mostly Microsofties.

I have experimented a little bit with SlackLive!:tux: If you want me to find a link just send me a pm. If I can't find a link then I can transfer it to you somehow I have it on a cd(probably ftp)! Don't know if that is what you are looking for or not. I also found a pretty cool little tool where you can mod your own XP live its pretty neat! :thumbup:

LOL true.
We can access the Internet at work via our network but the fire wall is so secure we can't sites we need for our work! Even some PDF files are blocked! Our IT admins say "We can't be sure what's sort of information PDFs contain" But since when has anyone found porn in PDF format?
The most retarded thing is we have plenty of stand-alone Internet machines all running Windows, all with admin rights and a very poor firewall and anti-virus, not surprisingly they're all infected. I've had to upgrade the one in our office to Mozilla Firefox but it still gets infected, it's really stupid we already run Linux on some machines so why we can't run it on the Internet machines is beyond me.
