More Whax and Auditor hacking demos

I've scoured the net to locate every single movie and flash demo for Whax (formerly known as Whoppix) as well as Auditor. These are essentially hacker distros of Linux made to boot directly from a CD with no installation.

The New Project List

Well I have a list of definite projects I have to work on at work now.

Rebuild Spamshield solution
Create Webapp to interface with MySQL database
Redesign two company websites

Then I'm also going to be working on a business plan, marketing plan, and a sales plan. So I'm gonna start enlisting some help for that stuff.

As far as the projects go, The Spamshield is pretty much my company's attempt at an Anti-Spam offering. It never really made it out of development before it was sold and promoted though, so now I have to make it work.... which really means redo it. It was Gentoo based and I'll probably end up using Catalyst , after I get it how I want on the main machine, to create the installation CDs. The webapp I was thinking of using Ruby on Rails to build with (maybe cakePHP) , the current asp web front is in need of some feature overhaul. So instead of learning ASP and working with it, I decided to use Ruby on Rails and see where it will take me. The two company websites are for the company I work for and the parent company, they are pretty much in need of some help....badly. So I just have to see what my imagination comes up with on those.
