Hey! So I'm a long time Windows user but constantly flirt with the idea of using Linux... nice to meet you.

I read this article about how to turn an old USB/thumb drive in to something useful. There was a list of portable applications, one of which was Puppy Linux. I've got it ready, I burned the ISO to a CD and will boot from it as soon as I find my USB drive, lol.

But my question is; if I log onto one of the communal computers at work and boot up linux from the USB and run Firfox, will it get around the content filters so I can get on Myspace and Youtube(wich are obviously blocked)????

I really didn't want to have to register at a Linux forum for this. Thanks for any help!!

dude, how about you just use the computer at work for, i don't know, WORK? it seems to me that the filters are in place for a good reason. also, i doubt the filters are based on the computer, but more likely they blocked the sites at the router.

try putty? or wait since youre unix just run whatever windows browser you want in wine? I use crossover mac to run steam source games on my macbook, if you need a "supported" and guranteed compatibility version for unix you could try codeweavers, they offer a product thats basically a honed version of wine for like 40 bucks. that or just use putty.exe, i doubt that port is blocked.

that wouldn't disable the internet blocking it would stop any keyloggers they have installed but they're using a server to block you you need a proxy such as

but to get on myspace and youtube you have to pay for a subscribtion
