For the sake of the thread - those on Windows - use Rufus to create a bootable USB stick from the ISO.

I've been using YUMI from within Windows.

If I want more than a single distro on a single usb stick, I'll even use it in Linux, just because it's so much easier/quicker to do.

Yumi has also been my tool of choice when creating bootable usbs. I really like having several distros and tools easily available without the need to carry around several sticks.

Since I found out about virtualization I discovered I could always have a lab.

@Minion-Queen I'll also make time in my day for whenever it suits you best.

I've never seen this happen before, I bet it won't last.

@travisdh1 Zabbix is a monitoring solution you're probably thinking of another product, probably Zentyal I would guess.

Welcome @WrCombs

@Minion-Queen thank you

No they really aren't just need to actually want to be involved and actually do it.

If age is not a problem, I would really love to intern for you guys.

I have never been an intern =), in Mexico or at least in my state we are required by our Universities to do "servicio social" and/or "prácticas profesionales". If we get lucky they sometimes can be like one of your internships I guess, but most of the time we are doing them in a unrelated area, being treated as free labor (no proper learning experience), turned into the copy/coffee boy/girl or many just pay to get someone to sign their required reports because you work and don't have time for school, work and servicio social.

I was actually a soccer player that was my paying job from age 13 to 25, so I started pretty late working in IT. I didn't get to have a proper internship (didn't have time my job gave me almost no free time) and my University knowledge wise was really just a waste of time as @scottalanmiller knows.

I am the sole IT generalist of my current job, I manage a main office with 20 users in a Windows 2008 domain and a remote office with 10 regular users and a small 60 seat call center with 10 of those computers running Ubuntu Mate 15.10, computers are pretty basic only 1gb Of ram we get much better performance with Linux than the windows pcs and we really only use Web Apps so I hope I can migrate the rest to Linux soon.

Main and remote offices both have kvm vm hosts with md raid 10 on HP ML110 G7 (really envy everyone who gets to play with bigger and proper servers). Small number of vms, AD and file servers, Linux jump boxes with zero tier and Elastix 2.5 vm for IT department (only me) communication (hate our Panasonic and Alcatel pbxs) .Both offices have pfsense firewalls as their default gateways connected with 200/200 Internet providers.

Basically I am a self learner who really loves IT and Linux. I am eager to keep on learning and building my career in IT. I truly believe being an intern in Ntg would be a great opportunity to advance my knowledge and have some great mentoring. I would really liked to be considered for the position =).

No interns? There is way less interest in this post than there should be. For all of the people that I see talking about how few opportunities there are, you'd think someone would be interested when things come up.

Sadly, I think most of us on the site don't match the age requirements they are looking for. I know I would totally love to intern for ntg, the wealth of knowledge one would get from the experience is a self-learners dream.

I don't think the regular cp and mv commands can show the progress of the operation. You could use rsync with the --progress flag, that will show you a progress bar without a problem

Wp Clone Template if you only want the theme. You could also just download the theme from the place you bought it from.
Most people usually migrate the whole site not just the theme.

All-in-one Wp Migration to migrate with everything you choose from one host to another or from local to production server.

If you don't check the option drill down from parent collection, your filters apply to all your computers. That's why computers without java get marked with your checking java version filter.

Since their is no nesting inside collections filters, you would need to have a top level dynamic collection checking which computers have the software installed and then have another dynamic collection with the option to drill down from parent collection that checks for your specified version of the software.

@scottalanmiller remote execution of commands and scripts + scheduler

@thwr you could also try running Rundeck + ansible.

Haven't tried it personally, Semaphore Open source Ansible UI.

The browser takes care of everything if it supports your file type.

The MP4 container format with the H.264 video codec and the AAC audio codec is natively supported by desktop/mobile Internet Explorer, Safari and Chrome, but Chromium and Opera do not support the format. IE and Chrome also support the MP3 audio codec in the MP4 container, but Safari does not. Firefox/Firefox for Android/Firefox OS supports the format in some cases, but only when a third-party decoder is available, and the device hardware can handle the profile used to encode the MP4.

Here is the html5 tag.

@DustinB3403 I could help you anytime you get stuck with Spanish, it is my native language.

As for the remote control, what do you normally use? What is different, besides the language, in this remote location that a new solution is needed?

It is true that some parts don't have great Internet but almost all the big cities wouldn't give you any trouble with a good ISP. In what part of Mexico is your remote office located?

I personally vpn to a jump box and rdp or Vnc to Windows machines. Some small locations I have them set with Splashtop, and it works decently.
