Projects Update 4-22-13

Hello,

Long time no post. I thought I would update everyone on my latest projects. So far, for the most part, my lab remains pretty much the same. Budgeting has been different with my move to another apartment and buying a new car. Anyway...

Earlier this evening, I FINALLY ordered a Switched Rack PDU to remotely power on and off my rack!

On top of that, some of my latest projects have included:

 (1. I configured a working Linux (CentOS) DNS server within vSphere 5.1
 (2. I am (still) configuring a Linux DHCP (Ubuntu 12.10) server VM
 (3. I configured a hierarchical Vyatta based OSPF network within vsphere 5.1
 (4. I MAY (pending more Wireless-N and Vyatta success stories) add a wireless interface to my Vyatta internet router and completely remove my current wireless bridge (Linksys EA2700) from my home network altogether. 

I am also thinking of replacing my current Ubuntu 12.10/ser2net terminal access server with a more practical embedded Linux-based 48-port Cyclades terminal access server. I just need to do a little more research on it. Stay tuned!
