Re: [PLUG] Learning Linux Sys Admin & Linux/Open Source tools

The CAT at PSU seems really rad. The folks there have been a big part of the Puppet community and I know some people who have moved on from there to roles at really good shops. Rich On Thu, Sep 1, 2016 at 2:07 PM Mike C. wrote: > > > > I found a couple of things recently

Re: [PLUG] Learning Linux Sys Admin & Linux/Open Source tools

I'm one of the organizers of DevOpsDays PDX so yay for you getting something out of it worth mentioning :) The OP was talking about training or the lack of it, and I do think that's a challenge. I was talking about my own transition into this kind of role and honestly it involved a lot of work on

Re: [PLUG] Learning Linux Sys Admin & Linux/Open Source tools

If you are looking for an Ops Engineer type role (you said it was one of your options), in a lot of shops you'd be using Chef or Puppet in that type of role. I'm partial to Puppet (I'm going to work there in a few weeks in exactly this kind of role), but I know a ton of really smart people who use

[PLUG] DevOpsDays PDX

Hi PLUG members, I'm a longtime list member and one of the organizers of the DevOpsDays Portland conference. It's happening August 9 and 10 at the Oregon Convention Center. We have some really fun talks lined up, plus Ignites and some Open Spaces. The opening keynote is by Kelsey Hightower from

Re: [PLUG] Pleaze oh Pleaze: Git/GitHub4beginners talk.

One of the things that helped me a lot when learning git was figuring out how to fix my mistakes. Like how to rest --hard to a point before I screwed everything up, or reset to origin/master. Not something I have to do much now but it gave me a lot of confidence to know I could pretty easily undo

Re: [PLUG] Linux distributions

I had a need for a small VM at my last job, for SSH forwarding. I bounced around between a few different distros, but I really liked both Mint and Crunchbang. I think it's likely I'd go with one of them if I were to build a Linux desktop/laptop. And this is coming from someone with a lot more

Re: [PLUG] Linux distributions

I used Mint some and liked it a lot. Not as a real desktop though, just for a lightweight VM. For the OP, it could be helpful for people to hear some more specifics about what you want to do with the box. Is this for a home desktop system, are you a developer, what is the scenario you're using it

Re: [PLUG] Are standard security procedures an oxymoron?

If the industry is highly regulated, you may not have a ton of choice in the matter. You may have audit requirements that need to be met whether you like it or not for things like PCI or HIPAA. I think defense in depth is a very important concept. A lot of people do rely on the same products and

Tom, I'm a little confused. I'm not a routing guru by any means though :) But there's a NIC in the gateway router? Why aren't the downstream routers using that as their default gateway? And then it would handle the routing to Verizon? Rich On Saturday, March 17, 2012, Tom Sharples
