Re: powerbook with nmap superpowers

[Geoffrey J Gowey <gjgowey () gmail com>]

Not to knock ubuntu (I'm really not trying to start a distro flame  
war), but they do a lot of weird things to their binaries (and I don't  
mean that in a good way).  The differences won't be noticeable to a  
normal user, but can bite a developer.  I'll suggest one thing to try  
my hunch: install vmware on it and load another distro (slackware,  
rhel, CentOS, fedora, etc) then try again.
