Tech forum topics is another one to add to the list.

Tech forum topics?

They are a part of IT, and they quite often go of track or in the wrong direction.

thank you all for your answers

NoMachine (NX) is a great option when you have a Linux server to run it on. Does the Linux box have LAN access to the boxes that you want to reach from it?

Hmm so finally got infront of a computer, started from the bottom and worked my way up through the solutions and the most annoying thing is the problem more so appears to be my "content content content..." eh? Copied 5 paragraphs for Lerem Ipsum; turned height to auto and bam everything was perfect.
It didnt even attempt to format to the right when I copied the paragraphs in....
So thats really strange and annoying cause I was already adjusting height: auto; before making the post =/

Thanks for all your help guys! And hey, if you've got any suggestions for the website I'd love to hear them.

P.S. what are these developer tools you all speak of? The only website tool I've used is Firebug so I'd love to know of something else.

Thanks

EDIT: Literally didnt even need to height: auto; just added the paragraphs and bam, worked how I wanted it. I literally didnt even have a problem! Just the content I added somehow screwed it all up???

That's great!

Developer tools is like firebug but its on chrome, but its built in. Just hit F12. Firefox has tools built in also.

Sometimes the sites get funky from the nbsp;'s.

Sounds like.... fun?

OpenLDAP is what the average Linux shop is going to turn to when looking to implement an "AD like" authentication mechanism when no Windows is involved.

Not familiar with Apper. What does it do?

It's like the Software Center on Ubuntu. You can still install through the terminal, just not use Apper to search by groups.

@johnhooks By using his pic for my avatar I hope to one day gain some of the powers he keeps in his moustache.

Thanks.

Keep us posted on how it goes!

I've never used Verizon as my own service, mainly because their price is significantly higher than the rest. But I had to give up my cheaper Sprint plan for something that actually worked! Moving to AT&T was cheaper than Verizon, because of GSM compatible with most European carriers and therefore roam-able, and worked well in my home (Verizon, like Sprint does not work in my house).

Thats why I like TMobile. Uses any GSM towers that it can, included AT&T and whatever is local in the country that you are in. And at home it always works because they have full WiFi calling. So I never have to worry about it at my home, any family member's homes or other places that I go regularly.

Here is the info on how to do it. Just Google it and it brings you to MangoLassi 🙂

Pertino themselves use this info to help customers. ML had it documented first. Pertino saw the reports that NTG had it working, asked us how to do it, we pointed them to the ML docs and voila...

Like the afternoon equivalent of a mimosa? Nice.

@scottalanmiller Virtual or Physical? If Physical, how did you handle the potential for Split Brain?

It was physical, but the split brain issue is the same.

You use a STONITH strategy and have a master site and do not fail back transparently.

@DustinB3403 said:

But do that with the above example would mean I'd have to indent all lines?

Is that correct?

Correct.

Yahoo sells domains? 😮

Sure, for websites you want to host on their platform.

That's um... less than good.

That is also my default starting recommendation.

For just under $200 you get 1 ERL + 1 UAP. Pretty much perfect for almost all SMB offices.

Drop 2 hours of labor in there and you are done with the base proposal.

Ha ha. I'm sure. It is a huge city and the center of the country, I would expect everything to be available there. I hear that the weather is awesome too.

In the US at least, Scott is correct - these places don't care about repeat sales, they only care about this one sale today. Specialty stores care about repeat business, but big box stores.. nah.. they know there are 10 more people behind you looking to buy something.

Well it isn't that they don't want repeat sales. It is that there are many factors:

Many (most) customers never evaluate the advice that they were given to see if it was good so are just taken advantage of over and over again. Switching stores would mean admitting their own mistakes of the past and most people would rather make the same mistake twice and claim it was not a mistake than to fix their behaviour and not make the mistake again. There might not be other stores available or they may have no idea where to go.

I hate Best Buy, but sometimes they are what is around. But I never ask them for advice, that would be ridiculous, obviously they have no idea about cables, audio equipment, computers, whatever. They know less than random people on the street in most cases.
