I had some time on my hands so just went for it and installed FreeBSD 6. The
base system starts up ok so now I've got to start loading all the tools on
it. I've left plenty of drive space so I can dual boot windows and linux if
needs be so everything should be catered for.

Off to get wifi working...

check out FreeSBIE -- They have a nice little live CD that boots BSD.  They also have a live CD creator, so you can 
get BSD going the way you want it on your hard drive, then turn that custom distro into a live CD.  That could come 
in handy if you want to run Windows or something else and don't want to dual boot.

 testing laptop based on bsd anyone








Hi
 I'm having problems with wireless pen-tests due to the linux drivers
 for my wireless card and someone suggested trying one of the BSDs.
 Does anyone here use BSD as a base system for pen-testing from? I was
 going to go with FreeBSD as I have a little knowledge of it already.
 Any tips, tricks or gotchas?

 Thanks

 Robin
