[SLUG] Recovering ext2 partition

Hi, I'm a Sydney teenager and I'm sick of Windows. I've been a fan of Linux for a while, I've got a copy of Knoppix, but recently I was at the Australian Informatics camp and after using Debian for 10 days, it depresses me to come home to my Windows box. I was wondering if you knew where or how

Hi, The current best bet for wireless is the ralink rt2x00 series, which you can read about here: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page The older prism54 cards (using the FullMAC chipset, see http://prism54.org) work very well too, but are a bit thin on the ground these days.
