These are fine for accessing a linux command line, but what about actual terminal emulation? Nothing easy on linux. I love SecureCRT on the windows side for linux & vt100 emulation, but it's options for other terminals are few. What does a good job emulating of TN3270, 5250 & HP terminals?
As an alumnus of WF who bitched endlessly as the Class of 2000 plan was put into effect (giving folks laptops & such), I'm curious as to how much students use thier thinkpads on campus. Are these actively used by non-cs folks, or do they mostly stay put in the dorms? And I hate the gates too. And O'Neal Robinson. But that Rita Mewing is pretty cool.
All serious networks I've ever seen or worked with use Open BSD as their router/firewall solution and for good reason, it's perfect.
You're right! Managing hundreds of OpenBSD firewalls in dozens of locations, all the while maintaining a cohesive security policy is a BREEZE with the excellent OpenBSD pf management software!
Er, no. What kind of serious networks are you working on, anyway?
Cisco doesn't train people. Trainers train people. (Look out NRA.) Well, ok, Cisco does train some people but mostly is those training centers that did so well churning out MCSEs that are now begging to churn out CCNAs. And I challenge the Anonymous Coward to find a CCNP or CCIE who barely understands networking. Sure there's more to networking that just Cisco, but not much.:)

From the article:
"This kind of news-by-discussion has emerged before. But never before with the robust yeastiness of Slashdot."
Robust yeastiness?!? You guys might want to see a doctor about that.
The Poles provided the British and French with a working 3 wheel Enigma machine shortly before the invasion of Poland. While handy, a production model of the Enigma machine used by any branch of the service does one no good unless one could devise a way to crack the wheel order, ring settings (ringstellung) and steckering and daily keys, all of which were communicated by more secure channels. The Poles Rejewski, Zygalski and Rozycki devised a manner to provide this information (the bomba) which worked well for the 3 ring Enigma, but scaled in a manner insufficient to crack the 5 ring Enigma put in production shortly before the war. The Poles provided the basis by which the Enigma could be cracked and Turing and his gang at Bletchly Park ran with the concept, improving it greatly. No real cloak and dagger stuff here, just a lot of hard work and a heapin' helpin' of brilliance.

Their 9216/9500 series SAN switches run Linux. And they run fast. Again, ASICs do the heavy lifting in the box, but still, it runs linux.
And I can substantiate that story as I was across the street at The Other Bank. Funny how these things get around.
"the NationsBank Headquarters here in Charlotte!"
Or even the Bank of America building......
