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.

There's no time limit - there's lots to do before we even start
installing :)




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?
