I'd highly suggest bolting it down to the desk. That usually works fine. At least you won't get in the news like the US Department of Defense.
I 100% agree! Physical, physical, physical! As do I. One of my friends left his office for about 2 minutes and when he got back his laptop was missing. This was in a facility where one had to show a badge to get in, and personal laptops had to be labeled by security. I think, at the time, he was also chairman of the board of the credit union, but we are talking about 10 years ago when identity theft was uncommon.
In my office, I use a locking device tied to my desk. Not very secure since someone can come in, and lift my desk up, but I never keep any sensitive data on the laptop since I use it mainly for presentations and classroom lectures when I am teaching. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9 -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
