RE: About to start PWB - Any tips?

I am also looking at that course but thought that I would get some hands on
first.  So I bought a ALFA AWUS036H and have since bought 2 more for
bridging and other fun stuff.  Definitly get one of these if you are looking
at this cource.  And let us know how it is, I have heard nothing but good
things.

Subject: About to start PWB - Any tips?

Hey guys I'm about to embark on the Pentesting With Backtrack course and was
after any tips any one can give me.

I'm fairly new to hacking and this will be my first training experience with
it. I'm pretty self-sufficient with Ubuntu and know my way around Windows
okay. Any areas I should be focusing on and brushing up before receiving the
study materials?

What do you recommend for hardware? Should I use a laptop and keep the same
install running with me or will it be fine to move between home and work
while I'm doing it and using a service like Dropbox to store my files and
stuff? How much space should I allow for the BT5 partition?

Thanks for any advice you can give.
