For GUI: It used to be FreeNX, but the project seems to have not been updated in a long time. So far, it looks like the replacment is neatx which is similar...using same protocols/compression (I believe). The NX protocol is nice/fast, and secure (uses SSH)... https://code.google.com/p/neatx/ Kind of related to the topic is a 'remote session manager' ...Currently use PAC (Perl Auto Connector) Manager. It lets you save your preferences/settings for various sessions (ssh,rdp,etc). It's like vRD on Windows. --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
Re: Is there something such as celluar wireless to connect with an ISP ?
One solution you are describing would be "Mobile Broadband." Most of the major carriers will offer it. We used it several years ago through Sprint. It was approx. $60/month, and worked well for a remote office we had. They have routers that support the cards as well. http://shop.sprint.com/en/solutions/mobile_broadband/mobile_broadband_router.shtml Some folk'll tether their phone for this type of service, and I've heard Android's can create Wireless AP's on the fly. As with anything there is always the security aspects of these solutions to consider. -Ben On Fri, Dec 3, 2010 at 1:12 PM, wrote: > Hi, Maybe a little of topic but I 'd like to ask, > > I know there's satellite ISP, you get a disk attached to your house > maybe and you can surf. > > But isn't there a USB device that you can use with laptop to get > internet connections.

Re: November Linux Security Lab Hacks DOCSIS 2.0/3.0
Related article: http://boston.fbi.gov/dojpressrel/pressrel09/bs110209.htm >From the article: The guy started a company that sold & promoted tools to hack modems, and was was "charged in a six-count Indictment with conspiracy, computer intrusion, and wire fraud. According to the Indictment, from 2003 through 2009, TCNISO, under HARRIS’s direction, developed and distributed hardware and software tools that allowed its customers to modify their cable modems so that they could disguise themselves as legitimate, paying subscribers in order to access internet service providers’ networks without authorization and get premium high-speed access without paying for it. The Indictment also charges that TCNISO and HARRIS offered ongoing customer support, primarily through forums that it hosted on the TCNISO website, to assist customers in their cable modem hacking activities." If a tool gives you the ability to commit a crime, does distributing said tools make you an alleged criminal? Shouldn't the customers be the ones the feds should go after since they are *applying* the hacks and connecting to the ISP (regardless of how the tools are marketed)? JTAG adapters and Linux aren't specific to cable modems, but can be leveraged to gain unauthorized access to greater bandwidth. If this guy sold similar tools as security tools as way to learn about DOCSIS, would he still have been indicted?Shouldn't the ISP be able to control/throttle from their CO/side? Similarly, if I found a way to reprogram a smartphone to achieve greater (GSM) bandwidth, would that be criminal? Even if I just distributed the tools for research? Say something like disabling the bluetooth radio and increasing power to the GSM radio. (Just an idea, I doubt that would do anything...Or if its even if its possible. I'm no a radio or legal expert) At what point is it criminal? If you get > .01% increase in speed? It must be in the EULA somewhere I'm sure. Are these some of the legal issues that will be covered during the meeting? (I do not condone stealing bandwidth, far from it actually. I am just interested in the subject.)

Re: Books to learn Linux/Unix
When I first started w/ Linux and FreeBSD, I loved the book "Using Unix Third Edition, Special Edition" ISBN # 0-7897-1747-6 by Peter Kuo. There is still a lot of relevant basics in there, along with a lot of outdated stuff. http://www.bookfinder.com/dir/i/Using_UNIX-Special_Edition/0789717476/ I also just finished coursework for the Novell CLP. Their e-books for the courses are top of the line, highly relevant, especially for SUSE.

I had something similar happen on a SLES install. It worked fine for a little while, then all of the sudden, right after post, the keyboard was completely dead, and networking was dead too.

RHCE to CLP Exam in Beta
Novell has been pushing their certifications recently, and I just came across this post about an RHCE to CLP exam. I thought some of the group may be interested in it: http://www.novell.com/communities/node/11878/rhce-clp-exam-beta <http://www.novell.com/communities/node/11878/rhce-clp-exam-beta>"Novell is offering a beta exam as a free chance for anyone with the RHCE certification from Red Hat to acquire the CLP certification from Novell. This is not a performance-based exam. It's a written exam available at Pearson VUE testing centers. Just go towww.pearsonvue.com/novell, click on "Schedule a test" and register for test #051-732." -Ben -- Benjamin Francom Information Technology Executive http://www.benjaminfran.com --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss

Wednesday West Side Mtg Question
I will be doing a presentation on installing Linux on a Soekris net5501 this Wednesday night @ 7pm at DeVry. What room at DeVry is the meeting in? As the presenter, I'd really like to let some other people know (non-PLUG'ers). I posted my question on the IRC, but it's pretty quiet right now, so I thought I'd also post to the list.

I've had one at work for several years, and just picked up one for home off e-bay. I use a keyboard/mouse tray that is just above my lap. I've combined the Goldtouch with an Evoluent vertical mouse, and haven't had the aching wrist since I switched. Works fine with Ubuntu and SLED. Cons to the Goldtouch keyboard: The keyboard layout is non-traditional, with no keypad, so I have a separate USB keypad. When I first got the Goldtouch, I would hit the num-lock key a lot since it is right next to L-Shift. The num-lock activates the numbers within the keyboard (jkl) and you start typing all sorts of crazy. Cons to Evoluent vertical mouse: Doesn't seem big enough (I have pretty large paws), so its a little awkward to right-click. I've gotten used to both of them, and they work well for me (YMMV). -- Benjamin Francom Information Technology Executive http://www.benjaminfran.com --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
Flash BIOS From Linux?
I came across this website that lets you flash your BIOS from an ssh session, and was wondering if anyone has used it? http://flashrom.org/ They claim the following: - No physical access needed, root access is sufficient. - No bootable floppy disk, bootable CD-ROM or other media needed. - No keyboard or monitor needed. Simply reflash remotely via SSH. Of course it only supports certain chipsets, but looks pretty interesting. -- Benjamin Francom Information Technology Executive http://www.benjaminfran.com --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss

The biggest benefit is that you can control the other services you want installed, along with custom compile options. You also have the ability to create custom kernels (ALTQis only available by compiling support for it into the FreeBSD kernel). In an enterprise environment, you may want redundancy with pfsync/CARP (think Cisco's HSRP). >From what I can tell, pfsense has nearly everything I need now, but didn't when I initially checked into it several years ago. --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss

I tried pfsense, a long time ago in its early stages, and it didn't quite work as I wanted. I prefer pf on FreeBSD with Squid/SquidGuard. PF was ported from OpenBSD to FreeBSD in 2003.

Time to Trade in My Blackberry
I've been keeping an eye on the Nokia N8x series of devices since they run Linux. They will be releasing the n900 soon, and it looks really interesting. >From Wikipedia: "The Nokia N900 is Nokia's next Maemo device, superseding the N810, expected to become available in late 2009. Unlike its Internet Tablet predecessors it will include phone functionality with 3G/HSPA capabilities. It will run the Linux-based Maemo 5 and is the first Nokia device based upon the TI OMAP3 microprocessor with ARM Cortex-A8 core. It is expected to be revealed at the Nokia World event in Germany on September 2nd. The device will be available in selected markets starting October 2009 with an estimated retail price of €500 excluding sales taxes and subsidies." http://maemo.nokia.com/n900/ ...and hopefully not too late for Nadim's, "Laptop in my pocket." http://lists.plug.phoenix.az.us/lurker/message/20090705.152637.8d9188eb.en.html --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
