Great to hear your positive experiences using Trisquel. I always found
I could install Trisquel in about 20 minutes too. It's one of its many
advantages.
I agree there's huge potential for Trisquel, and other GNU/Linux
distros in the small and medium business sector. Particularly in
todays climate where cost saving and control is a priority.
About the applications to decipher the command sets. There's various
applications available, depending on what network level your want to
work with.
For example, there's SSH protocol clients like PuTTY, and network
analyzers (network sniffers) like Wireshark. Both are available to
install using Add/Remove Applications. There's lots more tools besides
these, just type "network" into the Add/Remove Applications search box
and have a browse. Ettercap also looks interesting for your purposes.
Thanks Daniel
There is also:

for sniffing USB.
I am basically all set to work on creating open source programs to
control scientific instruments but I might be of use to the Linux
community if there was some sort of application for this. I know the
Xsane guys used USBsniff for scanners, not sure if there is a critical
hardware component that is missing and that I would be competent to help
with?
Thanks again-Patrick
