[02:05]  * Linden940 is away: I'm away
[02:05] <stlsaint> Linden940: poke
[02:06] <stlsaint> jfluhmann: poke
[02:36]  * jfluhmann giggles like the Pillsbury Doughboy
[02:36] <jfluhmann> stlsaint, yes?
[02:42] <spridel> silly jfluhmann
[02:43] <jfluhmann> trix are for kids
[02:43] <spridel> but man they are tasty
[02:44] <jfluhmann> indeed
[02:44] <stlsaint> jfluhmann: server, 4x Duo Core AMD processors, 32GB RAM, 3x500GB SATA drives
[02:47] <spridel> VM box?
[02:48] <stlsaint> spridel: ?
[02:48] <stlsaint> oh, i dunno know yet lol
[02:48] <spridel> might as well toss in some Nvidia 480s while you're at it
[02:49] <stlsaint> if the processors can handle kvm then yea i will have a few kvm machines but mostly openvz containers
[02:49] <jfluhmann> stlsaint, Nice!
[02:49] <stlsaint> jfluhmann: very
[02:50] <stlsaint> jfluhmann: guess how much it cost?
[02:50] <spridel> dual core AMD should easily handle hardware virtualization
[02:50] <stlsaint> spridel: 4 duo core AMD's ;)
[02:51] <spridel> you'll be fine
[02:52] <jfluhmann> yep, as long as they support AMD-V (for KVM)
[02:52] <stlsaint> spridel: going to setup some vps to help prepare for the pwb course
[02:52] <jfluhmann> you could always go the Xen route if not
[02:52] <spridel> didn't realize you were taking that, awesome
[02:52] <jfluhmann> which openvz does, right?  I know Proxmox does both KVM and Xen and uses OpenVZ for some of its stuff
[02:55] <stlsaint> jfluhmann: yea proxmox is what i am using, using kvm and openvz
[02:56] <stlsaint> openvz FTW!!!
[02:56] <stlsaint> spridel: yea i am looking to take it in march
[02:56] <jfluhmann> stlsaint, cool
[02:57] <stlsaint> jfluhmann: 400 bucks!!
[02:57] <spridel> thought it was more than that
[02:57] <spridel> unless army is helping pay
[02:57] <stlsaint> spridel: army pay for what?
[02:58] <spridel> for the cert, class is like $750
[02:58] <stlsaint> spridel: oh no, $400 bucks is for the server
[02:59] <stlsaint> spridel: the class plus labs will run me $1100
[02:59] <spridel> doing the 90 days for lab time?
[02:59] <stlsaint> spridel: yep
[02:59] <stlsaint> spridel: and heck no the army is not helping pay for it
[02:59] <stlsaint> spridel: that is coming outta my own pocket
[02:59] <spridel> sometimes they help with certs like CISSP/CISA/GIAC/Security+/CEH etc
[03:00] <spridel> ccna stuff
[03:00]  * stlsaint is Sec+ cert
[03:00] <stlsaint> but looking foward to ccna after i get linux certs ;)
[03:00] <spridel> doesn't hurt to ask if they will help
[03:01] <stlsaint> army will pay after i take the course and provide papers saying i passed
[03:02] <spridel> oh the good old reimbursement paperwork
[03:03] <stlsaint> yea
[03:04] <stlsaint> i may loan out vps for pay, bring in some extra bucks
[03:04] <spridel> i know people that do that, charge friends to use as a pentesting environment
[03:06] <stlsaint> spridel: oh yea, that and just loaning for general uses/learning
[03:06] <stlsaint> spridel: openvz makes it real easy to setup a quick network for pentesting
[03:07] <spridel> most people i know run ESX/ESXi
[03:10] <stlsaint> im not a big vmware fan
[05:12] <mrand> stlsaint: what hypervisors do you like bestest?
[05:14] <mrand> I need to try one out.  Only requirement is that it support the latest Xeon's, and that it be able to be run on a headless machine (no VGA port)
[06:25] <stlsaint> mrand: yo
[07:01] <stlsaint> mrand: my favorite is proxmox but i install it via cd which requires a monitor then i make it headless.
[19:51]  * Linden940 is back (gone 17:45:23)
[23:24] <stlsaint> sup texans
