My new “killer app”
Its actually not new, nor is it new for me, but this use is a first for me, and its pretty cool.
The original VPN client that was supplied on my work laptop was a piece of junk. It would redirect all traffic out the VPN, even traffic bound for vmnet interfaces, which made software testing a pain in the behind. When I got my new laptop this summer, the VPN client couldn't hold a connection... After 3 tickets, and as many weeks waiting for the tickets to be answered, they finaly told me to beta test their new Juniper powered client... I love it. It adds its routes to Windows' routing table, then gets out of the way, and even lets local traffic escape out by default! This means I can finally print to my printers with out stringing up USB cables, and now that I cleaned off my desk, I installed synergy... So now I can use my big pretty monitor, and my laptop's big pretty monitor (17"... no it does not fit on an airplane tray table.).
I'm in heaven.....
Also, Slackware-12.2 was released at some point in the past 48 hours, but I'm sure you heard that elsewhere.
