Netbook for travel and hacking

Agree the 12" is a great balance. I missed the boat with the Pavilion - BJ's
had it on sale wtih an additonal coupon a couple weeks back ($500). They
were gone in a few hours.

Also check out the Lenovo X200S - Business class 12 inch. We have a few of
these at work, they run around $1500 so price point might be a bit high but
they are very nice! (Cannot vouch for linux on em)

 If I had the coin (or at least could justify it) I'd go with the HP
Pavilion 
dv3z<http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/computer_series.do?storeName=computer_store&category=notebooks&series_name=dv3z_series&a1=Brand&v1=HP+Pavilion>.
I think there is also a dv2z that has a 12" screen too.

I think these would keep a good balance between power and size.

 Hey guys,
Im thinking about replacing my quite reliable IBM X30 with a netbook.
As there are quite some available by now (eeePC, MSI Wind, Dell Mini ...)
the choice is pretty hard.

What are your recommendations / experiences.

Some preferences for me would be:
-light and small (  useless to say  ;-)  )
-musst be dual bootable (Win / Linux [Backtrack])
-Disk space is not so important
-External antenna mod and other mods musst be possible

To make it short, the ultimate companion for traveling, hacking, having fun
while not at home.

Thanks,
Nils

 I second Tim?s recommendation.  SQL Express should work fine for this.
And definitely check out the Foundstone Hacme series, as John suggested on
Ep 143.  Hacme bank is GREAT!!!

go with express.  I believe that is the free version.  That will give you 2
things, 1 a test bed, and 2 a good piece of SW to learn on, that will
probably be installed (as a feature of other software)

Hi
I'm setting up a windows lab machine and want sql server on it. I'm
looking at playing with basic sql injection and stored procedures, in
particular xp_cmdshell. Does anyone know if there are any differences
for this kind of thing between the express version of sql server and
the paid for versions or are the differences purely in the amount of
data and things like that?
