If anybody on this list interested in computer forensics training (includes Linux forensics) and is connected with law enforcement or provides info security services for any government agency, there is an excellent training opportunity coming up. The Regional Computer Forensics Group of the Hi-Tech Crimes Investigation Association is hosting a week-long symposium August 13-17 at George Mason University in Fairfax, VA. It's a good drive but the GMU 2001 symposia cost well under $200 and I have found them to be very good helps. Maybe not as in-depth as the hands-on course costing thousands of dollars but quite a bargain. If interested, check out the GMU 2001 references at http://www.rcfg.org/ J.D.

I should give a quickie introduction now that I have moved out of lurker status. <g> I am a something of a HamLUG neighbor. I am running, or trying to run, a Linux group for the Princeton PC User Group. There are some ways where I may be able to help support a fellow Linux group. I and a couple other PPCUG Linux folks are hoping to visit HamLUG soon. I'm a computing old-timer but regarding Linux, I am a relative newbie, having worked with Linux for a litle more than a year. My general specialties are information security, privacy, and info law & cyberspace liberties issues. For the past several years, I have been speaking at the Trenton Computer Festival on some of these topics. >J.D.
