What Are You Doing Right Now

Calling it a day here. It is late and I want to play a game or something before going to bed. I've been at the computer from 8am till 11pm. It's a little much.

A case of walking on water or swimming like a rock?

Nah... There's still about 3 more hours to game. I see you keep trying to play Just Cause, ha ha ha.

Moreso save them or be pigeonholed and not able to help them. They use virtualbox for their Virtualization. All windows servers are physical and they are running virtualbox on those.
The guy told me that Xen/XenServer and KVM were not good (I really don't think he's ever even heard of them but only said that when I mentioned them), and they don't have enough money to use them..........
He told me he's used Linux since 0.99 (I think it was a joke? But with him I'm not sure) and he kept saying he wants to use pfsebse for everything, but currently they're using off the shelf netgear stuff....

huh - what would your position be? If you're under the guy who told you that - I think I'd have to run away. I suppose you could have a frank conversation with him. "Listen, I really like what I see in your company, but man, your IT stuff really is just not up to current standards. In order for me to take this position I'd have to have budgetary control of IT and autonomy." Without something like that is sounds like this guy would just run you into the ground.
Good luck.

That's kind of what I'm thinking. I have to see what the pay is. The job is an "IT Specialist" but they advertised they wanted Linux experience which is why I applied. It's a 90% windows shop so I don't know why they advertised that, because from how he described it they aren't going to change that. So unless the pay is out of this world, I think the decision has been made for me.

So I just noticed that you can add an SSH tunnel in Remmina. You don't need to manually do
ssh -L port:host:port user@hostfirst. You can just add the host under the ssh tunnel section and it does it automatically. -

Doesn't even sound like an IT shop, sounds like some kid whose never been around IT trying to set things up off of things he say on a TV show.

Not up to any standards. Current not even being in question.

Even then, at best I'd think it would be a stop gap job. Bad shops are bad shops. The only case where bad shops make sense is when they are clearing house, actively eliminating the people who did things poorly and trying to bring you in to fix it or as part of the fix. If the top down management isn't aware that their IT is screwing the pooch and taken them for a ride then you are walking into both bad IT as well as bad management - that's not something that you can fix or will improve with time.
