Handy, thanks.

SAR is likely already installed and collecting, making it that much easier.

/proc/version usually has pertinent information across most systems.

Edit: I looked closer. It's just the OS name (RHEL/Ubuntu) and kernel version. Never mind.

@cronsloth Woot

We are using this, by the way. Just deployed one this past week or so.

@Lakshmana ,

I think you should start your training from the beginning. You have alot of knowledge of different commands, file systems, scenarios, etc, but you always seem to struggle with the basics.

Linux or anything else in IT is alot like math in the way that you must understand counting, and addition and subtraction before you can learn algebra and calculus.

Check out udemy.com. They have some great training material at a very fair price.

@Reid-Cooper said in Open source Firewall:

pfSense was really good in the past. But I agree, the days of building your own firewall on an old PC that you have are over.

Right - the cost just isn't worth running your old PC. Power alone will cost more than the cost of an ER-X or ER-L.

Did you figure this out? I know it's a pain, but if you're stuck you can convert it with qemu to raw.

qemu-img convert -f vhdx -O raw

Pop quiz: why do you need the dash with su?

That was in the original article.

And I quoted you without quoting you..... see what I did there, I switched a few words 😛

Fixed

Did it work?

Not confirmed yet, but I'll post when I know.

Thanks

From what I can tell, yes it worked. That's both the no sleep and no login password required.

Trusty full sources.list only difference is I get the mx repos

Gotta love Ubuntu.

not really.

FFS can't you tell that was sarcasm?

Hey ... I kind of like this FFS-ing and yelling at people! It's fun after a long day!

Trying to figure out if I should learn Ansible or Salt Stack.... hm..... Thoughts?

I am studying for my RHCSA... so maybe Ansible makes since?

@travisdh1 making a sql file is a pain in the ass.

Look at my Nextcloud 11 guide for the simpler way to handle that and securing mariadb.

The Register uses the term "enterprise Linux" to qualify the RHEL/Suse/Ubuntu group.

Maybe calling them USR would work better.

There's a whole youtube channel devoted to this concept, Scott.

I love the constant sighing.

Samba 4 and samba-tool make getting up and running with AD on Linux pretty quick and easy.

Sounds nice, I'll need to make time to look at this.
