Our next entry for the "The $100.00 (USD) Coolest Linux Workspace Contest" was sent all the way from the Netherlands by a digital forensics student named Huseyin. He is also working as an intern at an IT-audit company and described Linux as the best OS to do research on. If ever chosen as the grand winner, he says he will use the $100 to buy another 1TB hard disk drive since the 3TB of HDDs that he already have are not enough --probably because of lots of legal evidences to store :-)
Without any more delay, here is Huseyin's Kubuntu Linux workstation:
Owner's note: I'm currently using Kubuntu 9.10. My first distribution was SUSE 9.0; that was like 6 years ago. I didn't know much about Linux then. A few years later, I met Ubuntu and saw how easy Linux can be. I've been using it for 3 years now (almost 4) as my main OS. I'm waiting for the next release of Ubuntu 10.04 since I heard good stuff about it. I tried the Beta version but I don't like to use it as my main OS.
I like Linux because it's free, fast, and customizable just the way I want it. All the apps that I'm using are free. I have a laptop (HP tx2000ed). I always have my laptop with me and Linux is always ready for me to get the job done.
Thank you Huseyin and good luck!
Simple but nice workspace. I like the big monitor. What's the brand and size?

ReplyDeleteWhat's some of the apps you use?
You mean for doing digital forensic stuff.
ReplyDeleteI use sleuth kit, Autopsy, Metasploit, Hex editor, fatback, DCFLDD, Wireshark, Perl, kismet, aircrack. these are the most used (for me).
