Ran across this fun little walk through... building a home-brew passive wireless sensor.
WiFi Heartbeat
( Personally, I want this wired into my head... along with something akin to AirCrack )
Enjoy!

Open Source and More
Hey Y'all...
Just some tidbits on the Open Source Movement... and some other great things that could help you find what you need, and avoid piracy on the flipside.
First off, Open Source is software that is not only free to the public, but also provides the source code if needed, and you are openly permitted to modify it as needed ( within certain limits of course ) For a further definition... check this out.
Wikipedia maintains a great list of Open Source Software - and, typical to Wikipedia... it is very well organized.
They also maintain a great list of Open Source Games
On the topic of Open Source Games... here is a bit more extensive list. Lots of great fun. :-D
While not quite Open Source... here is a list of Applications on their Online Alternatives. Comes in handy if you aren't near your home PC and need to get something done.
That's all for now, eh. :-D

Ubuntu. Gotta Love It.
There are several reasons why I would reccomend Ubuntu as a good Linux OS for beginners.
I know there are many people out there who would argue with me, but I'm just putting down my 2 bits.
1 - Currently running at over 8 million users worldwide ( and counting ). The more people out there using it, the faster everything is going to be developed for it. I've been keeping an eye on the project for some time, and it's been coming along quite nicely. Massive online forums (http://ubuntuforums.org come in very handy to help troubleshoot any issue you run across)
2 - Ubuntu, being based on Debian Linux... can connect to a massive online database of applications using either a command line (advanced users) or one of the pre-installed package managers (novice users) A few quick clicks, and you can have the software that you want.
3 - FREE CD's. All you have to do is go online to to Ubuntu's Web Site and you can submit a request to be shipped CD's. (Something I do everytime a new release comes out) There is a slight delay of 4-6 weeks, but it's nice to have a hard copy kicking around. One that isn't plastered in permanent marker at least.
4 - Truly Open Source. This does cause some issues with compatibility out of the box, here in the Americas at least... but for countries with differing or stricter copyright laws than ourselves, it can come in handy. Fully functioning and Legal OS straight from install forward.
All in all, a definite competitor in both the desktop and server department. As every day goes on, it becomes easier to use, more manageable, and more configurable than most any desktop that's currently on the market. Give it another year, and it will be something to compete quite well in the alternative OS market.
