@wrcombs as a workstation or as a server? What desktop environment?

Fedora 26, workstation

If you have the hardware requirements why not go with deepin? It's pretty sleek

Because this was the one i had on a live USB i just made. Wouldnt "fit" on my laptop, so i got an old desktop and its installing now

Has anybody ever seen this before? It showed up after i restarted this PC to make changes..

Pretty sure that I just busted an iX sales drone on SW. Much like the FreeNAS documentation, he lacks plausible credibility. He spouts words but gets ALL the details wrong in his attempt to make a sale. He claims ZFS is better than RAID (even though ZFS is RAID), gets upset that Oracle made ZFS (Sun made it for Solaris 10), claims 9 million customers of iX systems, claims that the number of customers makes a product viable, etc. Then claims to be both an IT pro with 14 years of experience, but then claims to be a humble home users (red flag, not allowed to post on SW.)

look at you go, weeding out the fakes

@fuznutz04 said in Level 1 Basic Training -Network fundamentals:

For someone just starting out in level 1 helpdesk, where would be a great place for them to get started on BASIC networking fundamentals?

I've personally used PluralSight in the past. They are still $29/user at the moment (their site says this will increase shortly)
I've also briefly looked at Cybrary. These guys appear to be free but I have no experience with them. https://www.cybrary.it/course/comptia-network-plus/

The level of training I am looking for is for someone who has zero IT experience, but wants to start a career in support/helpdesk. (Not bench)

Any recommendations would be helpful.

I've used Cybrary.it prior I liked the videos, also Professor Messer on Youtube, both are great videos and you can learn alot of basics in networking watching those videos.
The videos are about 10-20 minutes a peice and each video is a new or different topic than the one prior.
I personally think its a great starting point for someone wanting to learn from the beginning.

Network + and Corona.. Mmmm good friday i have to say!

Anyone ever see this error before? do you know what it means ? how to get rid of it?

Watching Secret life of Pets with my son. I have to say the kids movies grow on you ( but you dont really have a choice when you're a parent) more and more.. now to jump on cybrary.it and watch some Network + videos while hes distracted..

No, because I carefully never do that, lol.

I didnt do this, this is from someone saying " This is how I think it goes" and changing settings.

I thought this was interesting, anybody know more about this?

Also something to avoid

Random people who don't know the basics, making completely crazy configuration changes... that's a disaster waiting to happen. Imagine if they were doing that on a PCI network or something

They did! we use 2 NICs, one for internet, one for the PoS system so they are "seperated" the best they can be. They stacked and added IP's to the PoS NIC, So all of the PoS were accessing the internet...

Just got back in town, about to hit the coffee shop on the way home!

@wrcombs said in What are you using for Documentation?:

I use Google Docs, and the ticketing system ; Im the only one who does write ups on things I think we need to know more about, or are things that will be needed in the future.

I/We don't use any fancy third party software for documentation.

We have infrastructure (Me), DevOps, Desktop Support. I think one person from each team should be responsible for technical documentation. I'd prefer for it to be me but I also have a lot on my plate.

I do write up and document everything so I can learn and help someone else out. these guys just do it and move on...

Oh boy, moving this weekend and everything has to be out of the house by the 31.. turning into a nightmare..

Excluding our Application Directory from Microsoft Security Essentials seemed to have resolved this issue.

Sure is great to have internet and free time again!

Maybe teach them how to setup a server and access it via SSH (with putty/powershell/linux terminal).

Wait.
You can use windows Powershell to SSH into a server?/???

MIND BLOWN

@dbeato @JaredBusch well I installed a while ago. But lost user name and password.. And I kept trying to figure it out, finally I did. Thankfully. Was updated last night

@DustinB3403 said in Home lab projects - for Middle aged teens:

OK so,

1. Install an Operating System
2. Remote Access that OS - SSH - RDP
3. Maybe setup a webserver? IDK about that one. Will have to think of the usefulness of it.

you could also buy some old Clunker PC's and break stuff and have them fix it ?

Real practice
