Here is the situation: the customer machine is a Dell Inspiron 6400 running Fedora Core 9 installed from the i686 Live CD (not x86_64 as the T2400 Core Duo did not have 64-bit support). The customer wireless adapter is a ENCORE ENUWI-N USB 2.0 802.11n Wireless Adapter. My question is, how do I make this USB-wireless work with this lapt...

I am trying to construct a way to keep certain hard drive partitions/usb drives from being accessed for security reasons (protecting intellectual property). I was thinking that when windows attempts to access the "locked down drive/usb" the attempted is halted and returns something like "drive inaccessible" or something. It's just an ide...
I am trying to write a little backup program for friends and family and want it to be as simple to use a possible. I don't want to have to ask the user where to backup their data to, I just want to search for and use the first USB hard drive connected to the computer.

Is there a way to find out when in a LAN anyone plugs in a pendrive to the USB port? Programatically (in C# preferably) or through some tool. Basically I'd imagine a client application sits on each terminal and monitors the USB ports and sends the information to the server. a.) Can I get the details of the file(s) being copied? b.) Is...
