I work in a company that provide users security Username & Passwords to be able to login and browse to the internet over a WinXP, and these information could be changed any time which is annoying.
I need to know if i used a linux system instead of the Winxp will the linux override these security requirments and login and browse the internet without them?
even if i used a live CD like mandriva one?????
Are you sure as thier server may require a username & a password to log in or is it some kind ofd a security issue related to the Win Xp OS itself????? and not related to the server?
Rather than installing a whole new OS, why not just try installing Firefox? You can even get Portable Firefox and run it entirely off a USB key, without having to even install it on your work machine.

If your company requires you to use a login/pass combo to be able to gain access to resources then they have valid reasons to do so. Take your objections up with authorised company personnel. Asking for methods to circumvent authentication might jeopardise your employment status (if any) and is not deemed appropriate content for LQ.
