Hi All,

Recently my employer bought an inexpensive but highly effective laptop (A
Dell Vostro 1500, 2gb main memory, 120gb drive, tg3 based gigabit ethernet,
US$450) to perform security scans and assemssments with. Unfortunely, the
laptop is simply too new -- none of your suported distributions will address
the NIC without changing core kernels or using usb based nics (which are
simply not stable enough for prpoduction use; I know -- I tried several
brands). Given that there exist social pressures to have a fully suported
linux platform in use, I'm using ubunto 7.10 on the laptop. 

Unfortuantly, ubuntu 7.10 uses OpenSSL 0.9.8 which is not supported by
version 3 of your closed source client. So I'm using the much slower version
2.x of your client that ships with Ubuntu in it's stead. Are there any plans
to ship a version of the Version 3 client that's linked against OpenSSL
0.9.8 so it can be used with Ubuntu (and thus newer hardware)?
