Review: Mac Users Get the Goods! Yellow Dog Linux v2.3 
Review by Jon Holman
http://click.unixreview.email-publisher.com/maaaz7UaaTYy3a2siHBb/
Running open source software on a Mac is a different animal -- almost 
like an x86, but not quite. Configuring new hardware has always been a
problem in Linux; it is now compounded for the Mac user. Yellow Dog 
Linux (YDL) has built this port of Linux with the hardware of current 
Macs
in mind, such as the iMac and the G4.

Kevin Mitnick says "the term 'social engineering' is widely used within 
the computer security community to describe the techniques hackers use 
to 
deceive a trusted computer user within a company into revealing 
sensitive 
information, or trick an unsuspecting mark into performing actions that 
create a security hole for them to slip through." It's suitable that 
Mitnick, 
once vilified for his cracking exploits, has written a book about the 
human 
element of social engineering -- that most subtle of information 
security threats.
