@Breffni-Potter & @mlnews
Both excellent options........BUT!!!! not the one I was hoping for lol.
Is Radius still the "in thing" to handle authentication on Wireless stuff or is there a new and better thing we can look into. I don't moind spending company money!!
Just about to order some stuff for my drone. Might add some extra thick gloves :D.
Looks nasty hope it heals soon

Question on this. Would you choose a distro that your not familiar with but know it will work and do the job for what you need?? i.e. FOG imaging server?
That is very common. I often recommend that you use the "distro of best choice for the project", but have company standards for when that is irrelevant.
To some degree, as a company grows, the value of "right for the project" compared to "standardized administration" begins to shift. So the real answer is "it depends".
And of course, within reason. I use CentOS, OpenSuse and Ubuntu pretty freely depending on the use case. If I am starting from scratch, I won't use Ubuntu, but the other two pretty freely. If a project calls for something really odd like Arch or Gentoo as what is recommended, I will generally look for one of the major OSes instead if possible. Nothing wrong with those, but OS sprawl needs to be limited as well.
All good advice thanks Scott, in my example I've managed to get FOG working and imaging in a test lab using a youtube tutorial with Kubuntu as the Distro. But can't replicate with CentOS which is my preferred Linux OS (Only because I've used it since v5)

Looking to deploy FreeRADIUS on Linux?
Might do 
I have looked at that in the past and did like it, but not sure about best practices in regards to what type of certificates to use etc. I don't really want to manage 100+ Certificates for each laptop.
So really after what options are available to secure the WiFi and what does everyone do?
OK chaps.
Any advice links etc on todays Best Practices on securing the company WiFi.
At the moment we are rolling out Unifi AP's everywhere. We have a "Corporate" SSID and a "Guest" SSID, guest is ticked with isolation so it can't see the Corp network.
At Head office I have also separated the guest and corp WiFi onto separate VLANs as well.
But we have an issue that because the WiFi key is know by everyone they put there phone on the Corp ssid and use up all the IP's so I want to move to RADIUS or what ever the latest and greatest standard is to Authenticate and join company laptops onto the corp network forcing all phones onto the guest.
Just set-up the wireless Extender for the AR Drone, now searching for battery mods to power the AP outside and see if i can enable WPA on the Drone.

Other than basic stability, apps pretty much make the platform.
^^This, few people at work have swapped but only because apps they want to use aren't available on Windows Phones.
Watching more Doctor Who, on season 5 now.
About to switch on a TP-LINK WA801ND to see if i can use it to extend the range of my AR Drone 
I really wanted to get a tattoo, but know if i do i'd go ott and get a full one all over my back or something lol
I would love to read more about the idea of
but as the LAN becomes increasingly unnecessary I see "enterprise" very much not the term for this model. Enterprises are the ones best equipped to move to more modern structural models."
Any links to articles on the subject and concept
Finally after watching this:-

Got Fog working in a test lab!
Now to reinstall with Ubuntu 14.04 and see if I can replicate the solution. and get it working.

We do that on our Scale cluster. Build a base image, apply updates, add users, copy over the SSH keys, etc. Then we can make a new one in seconds, ready to be logged into. Don't even need to share the password because authentication is already in place. takes all the guesswork out of which drivers to use, what filesystem should be standard, etc.
Wish I had a Scale cluster to do that with
When I've used it I do like VMWare workstation but I won't pay the license myself so use VBox instead.

p.s. Good job it only takes 20mins to spin a clean CentOS7 VM up
Twenty minutes! We do it in under ten seconds!! You need to template that.
- Not a bad idea really.
Mondays Job

That FOG server seems to be quite the problem!
Yeah. Problem is all the guides seem to be for older versions so I'm not sure if its that causing the issue or something else.

Morning Scott
Install Another FogServer for the 10th time I think lol
OMG!!!! Who suggested doing FOG as a home project. Taking 10 times as long to just install Centos and Fog on a VirtualBox machine on my laptop instead of the Xeon Server with loads of Ram LOL!!
