I recently used a Dell Latitude D800 , with a supercool 15,4" WUXGA, running a resolution of 1920x1200 (old screenshot here).

I've switched from Dell to IBM on choices of laptops. I do miss the 1920x1200 resolution, but politics before pleasure, lol. I've received my T42P (model 2373-Q2G) laptop with fingerprint (haven't tried the fingerprint in linux), and the FireGL graphics card runs very smooth with the latest ati-driver. Had to get help from Cerebral, an ArchLinux user who dissassembled the ati 8.22.5 driver to make it work with Xorg 7. Here's my guide for Ubuntu Dapper Drake 6.04 ATI on Xorg7 - Ubuntu 6.04

My greatest interests are in security and stability. 2 words with the same meaning if in a corporate environment.

I am currently pursuing the CISSP certification, but since there is no immediate ROI, my employer is reluctant to pay for any exams :). I'm also going for the danish Open Security certification, since it integrates valuable danish standards on top of the CISSP.

And if you want to communicate with me using encryption, here is my digital certificate : .

If you know a few danes, and want to see if they have a digital signature, you can search the biggest danish online LDAP service and get their public key here : LDAP signature search

I use a variety of software to satisfy my admin needs, and a few I can mention are:
Nagios network monitor, Used in surveying my network.
ISC BIND , Bind has replaced my former W2k 166mhz dns server.
Dan J. Bernstein's qmail , A very secure and stable mailserver, used as a mailrelay for 1000+ machines.
Qmail-Scanner , A very up2date scanner with a great community.
QSS , Statistics for Qmail-Scanner. my own screenshot here: here .
OpenSSH , The Secure Shell replacing telnet on many Unix-systems of today
TightVNC , Replacing the heavy and slow X protocol, giving remote graphical pleasure on slow connections
nmap , A must have for checking services with ease :)
Nessus Security Scanner, Checking for known vulnerabilites and security holes on your network.
Ethereal, Tethereal, A great snoop tool for human reading both commandline and X
vpopmail, courier-imap, etc., Good, programs and great scripts to administer/use qmail-accounts
Apache , The flexible, fullyfeatured http-server
Rdesktop , for the UNIX people administering Windows-servers and supporting XP-workstations
Gaim , Satisfying the need for communicating with your online supporters with ICQ or MSN, etc. (filetransfer disabled :))
Guru's SuSE RPM's , to name a few :)

I've contributed lightly to several small projects, including Nessus FAQ , a few danish translations, f.ex. phpMyFAQ , and will continue to pay back to the community.

I've also built my own machine a while back, and overclocked it a bit to perform a bit more, while remaining stable. I bought an ASUS Black Pearl motherboard and an ATI 9700 graphics card, pumping the 2,4 processor up to 2,9ghz, and replacing the Bios on my 9700 to believe it to  be a 9700 PRO. that wen't pretty well and the 3DMark benchmarks can be viewed here :
