Metasploitable!
Metasploit now has a utility to allow people to practise pentesting on a controlled environment. Termed "Metasploitable", I'm guessing it is because it is "pwnable" 
It's basically an Ubuntu 8.04 server on a VMware 6.5 image, running plenty of old and vulnerable services. Yummy!
It is available to Metasploit Express customers from the Customer Center, and for the rest of us peeps, it's freely available for download via Bittorrent. (a bit slow, but I'll try to seed this for as long as possible when I managed to get it entirely)
More info at the blog post.

Takeaways
A couple of takeaways:
- Toys/tools aren't meant to take over our lives, they're meant for us to use as toys/tools.
- One of the responses to God's choosing of you, is for you to actively choose to live under Him too.

Weekend, consolidated
- In good times, don't forget what He gives and provides, and to be thankful in obedience. In bad times, be patient, and keep trusting and obeying.
- The basis for relating to family rightly (e.g. Honour your father and your mother) is in listening to what God commands, after being saved. The parent who is on good terms with you is an added bonus, another blessing in itself.
