[01:34] nixbag: LOL! [01:34] nixbag: makes sense! [01:34] <--- pinkus [01:34] nixbag: yeah i could tell from your IP ;) [01:35] haha, you hacker. [01:35] No installer in Gentoo; LOL, you have to get down and dirty. love it [01:36] i just recently tried the arch install method. my first time having to chroot to get a system bootable. [01:36] i'm a ways from trying gentoo :) [01:37] *** HighJinx has joined #arpnetworks [01:37] freebsd is nice so far, but i'm still more familiar with linux right now. [01:39] *** fink has quit IRC (Quit: fink) [01:39] *** LT has joined #arpnetworks [01:40] i'm moving back to cali in a month or two. [01:42] nixbag: nice! [01:42] nixbag: so you tried archlinux? [01:42] up_the_irons: yeah that's what i have on my home desktop at the moment. [01:42] SpaceDump: not sure if you noticed, but we're part of the NLNOG RING now :) [01:43] nixbag: oh nice, how do you like it? is pacman a good package manager? [01:43] up_the_irons: pacman itself is nice, but i've run into a circular dependency problem on day 1. [01:43] up_the_irons: so it's maybe not quite as good as apt. [01:44] up_the_irons: it also lacks many packages, but things like abs (kinda like ports/portage) and AUR make up for it. [01:44] up_the_irons: I saw the mail. Great! :D [01:45] SpaceDump: :) [01:45] nixbag: ah cool [01:45] up_the_irons: i still prefer apt and will probably go back to debian in a month. [01:46] nixbag: apt is alright; somewhat messy but it is practical. i hardly ever have problems and updates take seconds. [01:49] up_the_irons: have you ever used dwm or i3 window managers? [01:49] the thing that bothered me about arch last time I tried it is none of the packages are signed [01:50] nixbag: no, i've used: fvwm2, wmii, and (currently) xmonad [01:50] LT: no signed packages?? dang [01:50] LT: yeah arch is bad at security. [01:50] well, jeez [01:51] i think arch is just a 'use at your own risk' distros with emphasis on minimalism for desktop use. [01:51] how can i make a template for arch if I don't even know the files I'm getting are legit [01:51] up_the_irons: i wanted to try xmonad, i have heard nothing but good things about it. [01:52] nixbag: been using it for years now; it's the shiznitz [01:53] i'll give it a try. it's gotta be more convenient to configure than dwm [01:54] but i am at work now and tomorrow, so i have to wait until saturday. [01:55] up_the_irons: have you gone to any concerts lately? [01:55] nixbag: lol, actually configuring xmonad involves writing Haskell; so, "convenient" is relative [01:56] nixbag: no, been way too busy; i even missed Maiden in august, and that's like the first time in 8 years [01:56] oh haha. with dwm you need to edit the config.h in the source, thenr ecompile. [01:56] nixbag: what about u? [01:56] then recompile* [01:56] yeah, xmonad is a recompile too, but it's very quick [01:57] last concert i was at was maiden when they were at the Forum. [01:58] which was a good many years ago. [01:58] whoa [01:58] i was there too [01:58] too bad we didn't coordinate! [01:59] i was in the pit, where for the first time i saw many people just trying not to get killed [01:59] haha wow [01:59] the forum pit is brutal (way too big). the pit in irvine is way better (very small) [01:59] not enough people too push or trample you, lol [01:59] *to [02:00] yeah i'd hate to get trampled. [02:00] up_the_irons: have you heard of a company called Cerner? [02:01] nixbag: no [02:01] they do programming training, and i think they do a lot of medical programs. [02:01] there are a few of them in cali, and even one here in missouri. [02:02] might be the easiest way for me to get a foot into programming. [02:02] i've used the most popular medical programs that i think they work on. [02:03] nixbag: oh that's a nice angle [02:03] so i know the software from the user perspective. [02:06] maybe hospitals don't use linux because there is no linux equivalent software. [02:06] and if there isn't, that could be a huge opportunity. [02:08] nixbag: you should talk to jpalmer, he manages IT equipment in hospitals [02:09] hospital IT is definitely another interest for me :) [02:09] but i have to build up some experience first. [02:09] yeah [02:10] what does entry level entail nowadays? [02:10] network+ certification? or higher? [02:11] for hospitals, i would guess microsoft certification. havent seen any hospitals that don't use windows. [02:16] nixbag: no idea [02:22] anyone know a good sFlow collector for Linux? [02:24] inmon traffic sentinel but it's $$$ [02:26] i c [02:27] though if you're only collecting from a few devices it might not be too bad, it's once you jump to the unlimited device license the cost rockets iirc [02:30] you could try qosient argus - sflow support in it is relatively new and I haven't tried it, but it works for other things [02:31] otherwise it's possible to use sflowtools to translate sflow to netflow and use various netflow frontends [02:39] ah interesting [02:39] i just wanna play around with sflow on my foundry switch [02:39] never had a switch have hardware sflow that didn't require an expensive add-on card ;) [02:40] didn't you get some extreme stuff as well? thought they all did hardware sflow [02:41] *** dzup has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 248 seconds) [02:41] *** dzup has joined #arpnetworks [02:41] *** dzup has quit IRC (Changing host) [02:41] *** dzup has joined #arpnetworks [02:54] LT: i do have one extreme switch i got a while back. never looked into the sflow on it. perhaps you're right [02:55] i have the X350 [02:58] I know the X450 does, so would be surprised if the X350 didn't, but I couldn't say without looking it up. see if show sflow does anything [03:03] success [03:03] s6.lax.1 # sh sflow [03:03] SFLOW Global Configuration [03:03] Global Status: disabled [03:03] ... [03:03] LT: ^ [03:04] dang, nice [03:07] there's meant to be a sflow to netflow convertor [03:10] i wrote some sflow -> mysql stuff when i was at the .edu, dunno if i still have copies of it or not [03:30] up_the_irons: time to wrap up my shift then head home. i'll come by here more often :) [03:31] *** nixbag has left [03:35] up_the_irons: if you do go with sflow -> netflow, I can't recommend nfdump and netflow-indexer enough [03:36] I use both of them daily, so nice. [03:36] https://github.com/JustinAzoff/netflow-indexer and http://nfdump.sourceforge.net/ [03:37] you might find talk of flow-tools; it doesn't support ipv6 and its language is kind of nice but also kind of weird anyway.
