Hi:
I'm looking for a laptop that:
1. Does not have any non-volatile RAM
2. Does not need any non-volatile RAM to run properly
3. Compromises among the following:
3a. Is the least expensive
3b. Has the most volatile RAM [with the least duration of data remanence after the laptop is offed]
3c. Is compatible with the wireless adapter with the strongest transmitter and most sensitive receiver [in which the MAC address of the wi-fi adapter can be changed]
Where can I find this laptop and wi-fi adapter?
What OS would be compatible with the above laptop and wi-fi adapter?
In addition, I also want to be able to change the 802.11 nickname. Here is more info about the 802.11 nickname:
Quote from http://billstclair.com/matrix/ar01s03.html :
"The 802.11 Nickname field is a little-known feature of the wireless spec that sends your hostname to the AP. This is obviously bad."
I plan to boot from a CD, not an HDD.
The reason I want this is because I really care about my privacy and security.
What is my best bet?
Thanks,
Green Xenon
