[12:08] <stonekeeper> hi guys. I just installed ubuntu-server on a machine here with a celeron d. cpuinfo reports 2 cpus. how do i determine if it's dual-core or HT? thanks
[12:09] <stonekeeper> ah nm. i found it
[12:20] <Oggu> Is it possible to use Ubuntu server for router(with web-interface), network storing, web and ftp server and a running torrent program at the same time same computer?
[12:22] <mathiaz> Oggu: yes.
[12:22] <mathiaz> Oggu: but it needs some integration work.
[12:22] <Oggu> With other words I cont configure it mysqlf?
[12:23] <Oggu> myself*
[12:24] <mathiaz> Oggu: you can configure yourself.
[04:43] <stonekeeper> hi. what is the best way to set a default network proxy on ubuntu server? thanks
[04:51] <nealmcb> proxy for what protocol - http?  dhcp?  socks?
[04:53] <nealmcb> stonekeeper: ^
[04:55] <stonekeeper> http
[04:58] <stonekeeper> should i just add the http_proxy var to root's .bashrc ?
[04:59] <nealmcb> stonekeeper: do you want the server to be able to tell firefox on clientes where the http proxy is?
[05:00] <nealmcb> stonekeeper: what application would pick up http_proxy from root's environment?
[05:00] <stonekeeper> it's only for apt-get
[05:01] <stonekeeper> although wget would be nice too i guess
[05:01] <lcdd> /etc/environment
[05:02] <nealmcb> yeah - that sounds much better, since you don't want to log in as root to run things 
[05:03] <stonekeeper> ah great, that's exactly what i want. thank you
[06:14] <incorrect> which is the best vpn app for linux, openvpn, openswan etc?
[06:16] <mathiaz> incorrect: openswan is an ipsec implementation
[06:16] <incorrect> i don't really know which is my best option
[06:16] <mathiaz> incorrect: so it's usefull for interaction withother OS/ipsec implementation
[06:16] <mathiaz> incorrect: openvpn will only run with openvpn clients.
[06:16] <incorrect> ok, i guess openswan it is
[06:17] <mathiaz> incorrect: ipsec is needed if you want interoprebality
[06:17] <incorrect> i think ill go for ipsec
[06:17] <mathiaz> incorrect: with other clients.
[06:17] <incorrect> so is it openswan or strongswan?
[06:17] <mathiaz> incorrect: I don't know the specific status of these two projects.
[06:18] <incorrect> fair enough
[06:18] <mathiaz> incorrect: I think there is also a ipsec stack in the kernel.
[06:18] <shawarma> incorrect: What are you trying to connect exactly?
[06:18] <incorrect> well, right now it would just be two sites, neither have a vpn
[06:19] <incorrect> and i will then want to connect in clients
[06:19] <shawarma> incorrect: Then why did you conclude that ipsec was the way to go?
[06:19] <incorrect> well, i don't know what might be thrown my way
[06:19] <incorrect> so i would conclude that the best way is to be compatible
[06:20] <shawarma> incorrect: openvpn has windows clients, too..
[06:20] <incorrect> what about cisco
[06:20] <shawarma> incorrect: they do ipsec and their own stuff.
[06:20] <incorrect> ok so ipsec would be the most sensible option
[06:21] <shawarma> incorrect: Be sure to stock up on aspirin before you start.
[06:21] <shawarma> incorrect: !
[06:22] <incorrect> i've setup ipsec before, it wasn't too hard, 
[06:22] <incorrect> i've done openvpn too, back in version 1
[06:23] <incorrect> what would be really good is if i could create an install app that configures my windows boxes for my users
[06:23] <incorrect> now that would make them :D
