[13:35] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[13:59] <FiReSTaRT> hey BluesKaj
[14:00] <FiReSTaRT> just saying hello but gotta start working
[14:00] <BluesKaj> hi FiReSTaRT
[14:00] <BluesKaj> np
[14:00] <FiReSTaRT> on a side-note i mostly got a centos box running freepbx up and running
[14:01] <FiReSTaRT> just gotta harden the security, do some hardware tweaks (like turn off the display and make it stay on with the laptop lid closed) and it's gonna be ready for prime time :)
[14:07] <BluesKaj> never tried centos
[14:09] <FiReSTaRT> meh when you're dealing with a server it's all in cli, so there isn't much of a diff other than a few file placements (easily googled) and a different package mgr command
[14:10] <FiReSTaRT> especially in this case where i don't even need a display as everything can be done via ssh :P
[14:11] <BluesKaj> FiReSTaRT,  using a static IP ?
[14:11] <FiReSTaRT> seems to be the distro of choice for most asterisk implementations and obviously most of the servers out there even though my former employer did everything in debian, from workstations to lns boxes
[14:11] <FiReSTaRT> yeah.. my current employer will hook me up with a cable connection that comes with static
[14:11] <FiReSTaRT> then i'll link it to the domain i already have regged
[14:11] <BluesKaj> ok , an on the job setup
[14:11] <FiReSTaRT> no.. personal setup but i do all my work over vpn
[14:12] <FiReSTaRT> so my employer pays for my net access
[14:12] <BluesKaj> vpn/ssh ..cool
[14:13] <FiReSTaRT> for that i rolled out a virtual maverick box
[14:13] <FiReSTaRT> just vpn setup, remmina and twinkle :)
[14:14] <BluesKaj> never had a reason to try vpn , this is a home lan ..been retired for a while so it's all just here
[14:14] <BluesKaj> ssh , and nfs works for us
[14:15] <BluesKaj> and smb for eife's windows pc
[14:15] <BluesKaj> wife's
[14:17] <FiReSTaRT> this is the 2nd job where i use vpn, but on my previous job, they had a t60 running deb all preconfigured for me, so all i had to do is run the dhcp script, run the vpn script and i was connected
[14:17] <FiReSTaRT> no brainwork at all
[14:17] <FiReSTaRT> ok time to really get crackin and deal with an mlppp case... lots of openwrt fun :)
[14:17] <FiReSTaRT> l8ah
