A. Re Ethical Hacking-
Here's a definition of 'ethical hacking' from a British site that has a DVD course on the topic.
"Ethical Hackers are computer and network experts who attack a security system on behalf of its owners, seeking vulnerabilities that a malicious hacker could exploit. To test a security system, ethical hackers use the same methods as their less principled counterparts, but report problems instead of taking advantage of them."
I can't speak to the standards where you are and I'm not into promoting corporations but here's the site mentioned-
http://www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/9... This one DOES cost so----
However, I think that you should register on www.ethicalhacker.net and join in one of the forums where you're most likely to get the info needed. Somebody there will be able to point in the right direction.
For general programming you either need to be a real expert self-learner who can impress people with genius or - like most of us - you'll need to take a degree either at a community college or university. In this case you'll just need to check out the ones near where you live or look at on-line ones-

Sometimes there are local schools that do small six month diplomas in this but the employment record of grads is often quite spotty.

What is the best program to use for running multiple operating systems on a mac?
Q. I have a mac and the current operating systems I was thinking of using are leopard(snow leopard whenit comes out), open solaris, and windows vista. Obviously i would buy the updated one of a newer version of any of those comes out( I am already aware of snowleopard).
A. Boot Camp comes free with Leopard, and allows you to choose Windows/Mac when you restart. I don't know about Solaris.
Parallels might be a good one too - this lets you run BOTH operating systems at once (of course, with limited specs for Windows.) Again, I don't know about Solaris.
Oh, and for the other answerer: Leopard is the latest Mac OSX operating system. OSX 10.4 was "Tiger," 10.5 is "Leopard." The next one is "Snow Leopard" and it comes out in September. These are official product names, we didn't make them up or anything :-p

What are the benefits of a Linux operating system?
Q. I've used Windows and and Mac operating systems, but never Linux. Are there any benefits to having a Linux operating system? Are there any disadvantages? Are they more likely to contract a virus?
A. A more informed user primary benefit.
Quicker more efficient system with less overhead and shit loads of free software. other beni
It won't make you a sandwich disadvantange.
Much less likely to get a virus, and if it does odds are it won't affect your machine but if you do get one you install Linux with a seperate home partition.
so when you have to format you just format your root partition.
Just for the record a Java/Flash/pdf buffer overflow attack can do just as much damage as a virus or more and is cross platform.
Typically these types of crap is put in pron and stuff people like to steal ie P2P over vuze or utorrent and stuff like that.
Most Linux users still Dual boot, just like allot of mac users boot camp.
Best place to start with Linux is to get Ubuntu and run the live Cd and see if you like it, you can also test your drivers running the live cd.
If you use Ubuntu you will probably need Ubuntu restricted extras from synaptic and a bunch of other stuff
You might run into problems with wireless drivers
