Max, I certainly do not know, but I suspect whatever branch of the military you are with has folks who can answer that question easily enough. My son [USAF, Inspector General's Office] does some of that for inspectors. BTW, he [and the rest of you Linux folk] has finally gotten me ready to try it. We shall see. BillR

Review: plan is to purchase cheap laptop for use while I travel. Mostly personal stuff (set up Skype or some other webcam/audio method of communicating with home front while I'm gone, peruse MB stuff, read up on survival skills, etc.) but, and here's the big but, I'd also like to be able to access some military sites so that I can do official work if needed. So, we are now delving into the security realm. Worse yet, DOD security realm. I am just savy enough to know where the boundaries are that when crossed, the Internet Police come to my cube and ask what I'm doing and who am I and please show some ID and follow us (that has only happened once so far. Embarrasing!). So, can I make Linux work with Active Card Gold or Active Client? Please contact me offline if anyone has been down this path. Secure communication paths are available to me. I've tried to make Mozilla Firefox work for these military sites on my XP machine, can't do it and haven't found anyone that knows (but I haven't really tried very hard). OK, maybe this isn't a show-stopper, but would be nice to figure it out and be able to do more things with future laptop...
