Home sysadmin
Our Linksys WRT54Gv2.0 seemingly died last night around 10pm, and by 2am I had tried every stinkin' Linksys thing that can be tried to fix a Linksys. This morning I installed dd-wrt's open-source router firmware and all is well again.

vpn error 800 blues
My boss bought me a shiny new Lenovo ThinkCentre M55p to take home, and the WRI sysadmins got it all set up & working at the office. It's running windows since some Mathematica documentation tests I run work a lot faster under windows. I'll also run ubuntu 7.04 under vm once I get things up & going.
Now the box is at home behind my Linksys WRT54Gv2 router and I'm singing the aforementioned blues. Upgraded router firmware, opened ports, no joy. Waiting for sysadmin advice, which is understandably slow early on a Sunday morning. Meanwhile, I have an itchy install finger with the ubuntu 7.04 cd just inches away, and I'm intrigued by this open-source router firmware.
