Finally got the go ahead to convert this windows shop into linux,
workstations, servers, etc.. My question is, what are you doing for
VPN solutions? Native L2TP?

I just use Linux at home, on two boxen, but that sounds like a sweet
project, never bothered with a VPN solution as my IP is dynamic, and
I am already too busy at work to worry about this place.

So no Vista for TP the M$ weenie.

We're still in the process of deciding which distro will work best for
this particular environment.

It seems like it would have been a good idea to figure all this out
BEFORE you made the proposal to switch everything over. Personally if
I was one of yer higher ups I would have NEVER given you the go ahead
without at least SOME kind of plan of action.

Sorry cupcake, the decision CAME from the "higher ups".

Well either way they're idiots if there's no plan of action. Normally,
in a well run company, you would be asked by the higher ups to put
together some kind of report or plan or at the very least an outline
of what the switch over would entail, what it would cost and all the
details. Looking through the thread it looks like you're just NOW
asking yourself questions that SOMEBODY should have asked PRIOR to
making the decision.


Since you have never had a job in IT you wouldn't understand, but most CIO
types these days have no clue how to even turn their computer on, they make
business decisions based on the almighty dollar. Hopefully he has a
reasonable time period to complete the switch, if not they will find
someone else who can do it.

I have a crazy time thing right now from above, I have survived them before,
and I will survive this one now.

It is called the real world, not shelf stocking.

Otherwise you just look
like a bunch of bandwagon humpers who want to install Linux cause you
think it's "cool" or the "geeky" thing to do. Hopefully you won't
completely *** yer entire network in the process. Keep in mind that
there are a lot of peeps out there who go looking for poorly setup
networks to exploit and newbie Linux admins make MUCH better targets
than long time Windows admins.

gosh, really? I never knew!

Hey you're the one running around asking a bunch of numb*** questions
that you should have had the answer to BEFORE you agreed to do the
switch over. Don't get all snitty and indignant at me cause yer
company is run like a three ring circus.

A stock boy at Wal*Mart doesn't have a clue what the IT people at Wal*Mart
deal with, it wasn't a stupid question, it was asking for help with a real
world question, above and beyond your job,

Does the ketchup go next to the pampers on the shelf?
