    "So how many times a day will you have to reboot the VPN server?"

    Um, never?

    "You complain that the Red Hat server has an "undocumented pile of patched code" running on it? Hmmm.... Whose job was to do such documentation? Hmmm....

    That would be YOUR job......"

    No, that would be the last amin's job. You know, the guy that set the bloody thing up in the first place.

    This is why I got stuck with a P100 running an old version of Red Hat as our VPN gateway and DNS server. Nothing like an undocumented pile of patched code running on hardware that could go tits up at any moment to inspire confidence in the network stability. We are a Windows shop, so that box is getting replaced with a 2k domain server as soon as I can get the budget aproved. It just makes no senes to have a bunch of Windows systems being dependant on an outdated Linux install, and while I would rather move everyone over to Solaris or at least have a Novell NDS rather then a Windows domain, the fact is that we make and sell a Windows product so the best option is a Windows environment. You know, best tool for the job rather then Linux just because.

    In a word, yes. There is little chance of most students getting through school via government grants. However, the flip side of this is that we dont have many students majoring in snooker.

    Your wrong. The supply of ex-secretaries who got into IT during the dot.com boom working at spatula-city.com is higher then the demand. A position will get 100s of resumes of which 10 can actually do the job. This is getting better, however the reason it took me so long to get me current job after I lost my last due to 9/11 (don't ask) is due to the amount of time it's taking HR to sort through candidates.

    Or if your MP3 player is just that, a MP3 player. That having been said I use WMA on my portable player.

    See to me, dealing with Quicktime for Windows or any Apple software on Windows is more of a PITA then going to the mall and buying a CD.
