Would I hire a hardware geek on the other hand? Yes, chances are this person knows at the very least BIOS configurations, tons of software solutions and has basic troubleshooting skills. I guess it would really come down to the role I was hiring this person for in the end.

Maybe for bench work. Hardware geeks tend to hate IT.

Hmm... I must be the exception, I only ended up in IT after building PCs as a child. Still a hardware nerd to this day, by having the occasional problem/issue I learned basic desktop troubleshooting.

My wife didn't cook for me last night, so I had 2 cheeseburgers and 2 pumpkin cream pies (2/$1) at McD's... and no pics.

Tell your wife.

I think this is a truly appropriate song for today in the US....

That cat has had enough of people.

I guess that explains me at 40 then.

That explained you at 10.

Untangle.

You've gotten to mess with that more than I have. Have you checked out the content filtering and such? Does it have a VPN client? I couldn't remember if OpenVPN is available on that or if I'm thinking of pfSense...

Don't feel bad @zuphzuph - I installed Untangled at two NPOs and and if I could have found a small enough PC to run it at home years ago I would have. However - I was 'coerced' into not doing so and that it was a bad idea.

I have a UBNT ERL here at home now, I know one Untangled box I installed has been pulled, as it's now in the scrap pile here at home. Since it was hardware I had bought personally, they gave it back to me (minus the drives).

There are times though I still would like to have one running, just for giggles..

Feel bad about what? Find a bridge.

just found your review, great info

Glad you found it helpful! Still kicking ass though I've come across a few minor bugs. But, I guess that's android for you.

Terminals is ok... still has it's quirks too. Seems like literally every RDCM software does though.

@zuphzuph don't be a dick. If you cannot handle participation, don't. Aside from your bitching, there was nothing bad in this conversation.

I'm glad I brought at least one dick to this thread. @JaredBusch
