That can give me pre-installed programs when i run ubuntu from my DVD right?

For that kind of stuff you might want to look at the pendrive linux website. They got all sorts of articles on persistency in ISOLINUX and SYSLINUX environments.
Is this doable?

I'd have one crappy machine as a sort of gateway-machine at home, and then you could then access a virtual machine on the network through that. The only thing I'm worried about is user control on the gateway.
I could also just change the SSH port on the virtual machines, but if I had to create 50 machines all of a sudden (ignore the fact that I couldn't handle the load), I'd have to change the port on every VM.
And yes, I just discovered Proxmox VE and now I'm addicted to making VMs.

SSH tunneling?
I want it so that a user just SSHs into port 22, and then has to select what server he would like to connect to.

You could set up a server with SSH tunneling that would list other computers on the network (static IP's could make this process a whole lot simpler), and maybe even allow the "user" to select from a list?
Talk about a minimal Debian image, this thing doesn't even have apt-get or dpkg.
Anyone else upgrading from Debian 5 to 6? Quick analysis of my process:
[b]Preparation:[/b]
*Remove any backports or held back packages
*Alter sources.list, changing all references to lenny with squeeze
*apt-get update
Upgrade all packages with resolved dependencies. Running dist-upgrade now will potentially remove packages.
*apt-get upgrade
Upgrade the kernel and udev. These both have broken backwards compatibility, so it's important they are both upgraded before rebooting.
*apt-get install linux-image-2.6-amd64
*apt-get install udev
Reboot. System came back up as normal. Full upgrade time.
*apt-get dist-upgrade
The full upgrade took a little while, and needed a bit of user input to keep things moving. A couple of daemon restarts and the concurrent boot upgrade problem listed below.
[b]Problems:[/b]
*MySQL was broken in the upgrade process. The client meta-package was removed, and the server was left at the old version. No idea why, the upgrade log showed everything as normal. I also noticed that mysql_upgrade wasn't installed or run after the "upgrade", so my tables were out of date.
Re-installing mysql-{client,server}-5.1 fixed it.
*Moving to concurrent booting failed initially. 2 packages had not been purged from the system (exim4-base and x11-common), and one of my custom init scripts (svnserve) did not comply with LSB standards.
apt-get purge x and rewriting the script got everything back under way.
Overall, much better than I was expecting. Etch -> Lenny was a nightmare.
[url]http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/releasenotes[/url] and [url]http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html[/url] are invaluable resources.
I just did dis-upgrade few second after apt-get install udev was done. But yeah it was pretty easy to do.

No, I don't think you can. You would need to forward a port for each machine. You could have port 2220, 2221, and 2222. And whichever port you connect to gets you the corresponding SSH server.
Was a stupid idea anyways.
Or well, the idea is cool, but I wouldn't have any use for it.
Not hugely on topic here, but I was just checking FAFSA's site to see if I could get me some of that free college money, and it's all like "Click here for your money" so I click, and I get this page:
[url]https://fafsa.ed.gov/FAFSA/app/errors?page=incompatibleBrowser[/url]
Yeah that's right, this shit blocks you on Linux. So I go ahead and download a user agent switcher because I don't have one installed because I haven't come across sites this shitty ever. So I'm like IE8 on Windows sounds good, so it lets me through. Next I needed to put in my birthdate, this should be easy enough I tell myself, but I was wrong. I put the cursor in the box like anybody would and I start hammering out some characters like a boss, but to my dismay no characters appeared on screen. I noticed some keyboard icon next to the box and after a few minutes I decided that maybe I should click on it and it gives me some virtual keyboard. After clicking it my keyboard works again. I think the on screen keyboard had to do with keyloggers, but bitch please I don't get keyloggers on Linux. So on the next page it wants me to enter a phone number and I get the same shit where i can't type, but this time there is no keyboard icon. So I'm like umm I'll just try hitting next without putting anything in and it worked, so that was cool I guess.
Then I filled in some radio buttons hit next and got some crazy 500 error, so I hit back and try it about 3 more times then I log out and back in and it works.
That site is a piece of shit I tell you what. Sent them bitches an angry email I half-assed in about 3 seconds.
[quote]This site does not allow Linux users to use it. It says that only Windows and OS X are supported, but I switched my User Agent String to Internet Explorer on Windows and it lets me through. Furthermore, any website that is dependent on a specific operating system is really poorly designed. It's pretty unbelievable that a government website that is meant to be accessible by everyone excludes people who didn't pay for a Windows license. I mean honestly, what could a standard form based website do that it has to depend on specific operating systems? I don't even know how you manage to screw up text boxes badly enough that I can't type my birthdate in. This site makes Geocities look good.
Thanks

I think the most ironic thing is that in order for poor people to get money to go to college they need to buy a Windows license lmbo.
"Thanks"

I wouldn't expect a government site to run on anything other than a *nix OS but still, maybe you shouldn't bite the hand that feeds ya right?

Fuck 'em. I'm leaving this shit hole once I'm out of college. I probably don't even qualify for FAFSA since my parents both have degrees and make a bit of money.
Got a response to my email saying some shit about how only these browsers were supported and shit.
One part said:
[quote]
On a quarterly basis, the U.S. Department of Education will evaluate new browser versions and certify them for use with FAFSA on the Web.[/quote]
Cool, so a bunch of old people who don't know shit about computers get to decide that Linux users aren't allowed to apply.
So I sent a scathing reply.

Please tell me why your site is so shitty that it manages to not work on every operating system and browser combination. The entire point of a web browser is that it doesn't matter what operating system you run because everything should just fucking work in the browser. I don't know how the fuck you fucked this concept up so badly. How the fuck does a government website get away with excluding certain people from accessing it? My fucking tax money paid for that shit site and I'm not allowed to use it because whoever was hired to put that shit together has no grasp at all on how to not totally fuck up a simple website. Holy fuck, it's just some forms, how fucking retarded do you have to be to not get forms right. I don't even think there is a wrong way to do forms, but apparently some ass hat found a way to fuck it up. Anyone with half of a brain could shit out a site like this in less than 3 days and it wouldn't need to block anyone from using it. It's like everyone at FAFSA is stuck in the fucking 90's. I can't believe people this retarded are still employed in the IT sector.
Thanks for wasting taxpayer money on this shit. This is why people are upset with the government.

Browser ID's are so hard to spoof anyways. I bet your ISP doesn't support Linux to, better complain about.
that language will really help your case

of course it doesn't block it, it can't block it. there is no support for Linux. if you call up your ISP right now and say you can't get online, they'll tell you to click the start menu.

It's the greatest irony.
Like I said, they all run on *nix operating systems, yet they only give you windows and OSX support because consumerspace *nix obviously doesn't exist(Well, technically OSX was based off of the last releases of ATT UNIX, so I guess it sorta counts).
Also restating what I said before, sending people nasty messages doesn't help anything. They probably just autodelete any messages with fuck in them.
Many years ago I called the help-desk of my ISP for a little help with a PPPoE connection and Linux. After many hours of waiting, I wasn't helped at all pretty much found the answer myself already. And was told that a router was not allowed and the tool of the devil (sort of bought my first one after that heh.).
I'm interested in knowing how you fellow programmers/web developers work. What type of environment is best for you? What programs do you use? Right now, I just go to the command line and use gedit, and I compile from the command line using g++ when I work with C++. Using IDEs and setting up the linkers is too much of a hassle (or maybe I'm just inexperienced). Any thoughts?
