Man, out for a day and a half and look at how much I have to catch up with! Gotta go look at people's favorite jerky recipes, keep the important stuff first.

What was that about? It got taken down.
A conflict of interest I'll bet.

I always like to tell people when they make me actually laugh out loud, instead of just typing LOL and thinking about it.
You did it.

Anyone ever hear of the company Huawei? We are apparently moving from cisco to...Huawei?
EDIT: These are switches. Thanks @dafyre

@wirestyle22 I've heard of them, have never used them though.

@wirestyle22 This is for networking gear.

I've seen some Huawei phones. They seem to be nicely built and work great.

I'm a little worried but we will see.

That is where I've heard of them, consumer cell phones of good quality.

Storytime again guys:
When I was 15 I worked for a company who manufactured CNC Cutting Machines making internal cabling etc. The vice president of the company decided they would outsource work to china. Now, as I'm sure all of you are aware, a CNC cutting machine has to be balanced to within fractions of a millimeter. It's very specific. Well, our president went over to China to check on the progress and they were attempted to balance the machines with string. You read that correctly.
One of my Chinese coworkers said that most Chinese people don't care about their jobs because there are so many of them in China that you can get fired before lunch and have another job after lunch. She was complaining about the work ethic of her country.
This was my only direct experience with China and manufacturing.

I'll be interested to hear what you think of them, because like everybody else, I've only ever heard of them when talking cell phones.

This is a huge company, that has been around for ages. They just have not chosen to move on the American market until recently.

That's like asking: "Have you ever heard of a company called Microsoft?"
Probably 20-30% of the tier 1 traffic runs on top of Huawei hardware. I've been reading some article about that a few months ago, but can't find the link right now. Anyway, Huawei is on of the major players in telco and networking.

Yeah I'm getting that impression now. I've never seen anything from them in any of my jobs. It's just an experience thing.

Meh, looks like there's no (up to date) RedHat repo that contains RabbitMQ... We just had this discussion. Will switch to Ubuntu Server.

While it's a yuck, yep. (Not a fan of Ubuntu Server, can you tell?)
