    • RE: Best Ubuntu version for latest Fog Server?

      My 100MB/s equates to 6GB/min. Think thats down to the raid setup etc but still good enough for now. When I install the newer version on a fresh server I’ll do some tuning and tweaking on switches etc. Junkhacker’s 6.5GB/min is quite nice and on a gigabit network you wont be pushing past around 6.7GB/min including overheads so thats quite a decent figure.

      I’ve noticed also that a number of people are suggesting Debian 7.x so I’m downloading 7.6 as I write. I’ll give this a go. Realistically I’d love for fog to be installable on something like Free or OpenBSD at some point in the future.

      Anyhow, I’ll try Debian 7.6 in work when I get back on tuesday and see how it performs. I’ll be setting up mdadm raid5 on 5x2TB WD-Red’s as thats whats available to me as a server for now. Once I know its all working well I’ll throw it on the vmware platform perhaps.

    • RE: Best Ubuntu version for latest Fog Server?

      Well, I’m after stability more than anything and then speed. What kinds of speeds have you guys achieved while imaging?

      I was managing around 100MB/s with fog 0.32 over Gbit lan. Quite nice really, I’m able to put 2 OS’s on the target machine and join one of them to the domain controller, plus send out packages in under 10 mins. As it should be! The main college network is using SCCM to deliver images to machines, so its currently being shown up badly by the seperate computer science network that I’m managing.

    • Best Ubuntu version for latest Fog Server?

      Ok guys, I sincerely apologise if this has at all been covered already in some form but having been away from the forum in any serious capacity for quite some time now (months!) I’ve been wondering… I’m still running Fog 0.32 on Ubuntu Server 10.04 as I found back when I set it up that it was the best distro version to use for my personal preferences… I guess what I’m asking now, is what experience have you guys had with the 1.x.x version and which Ubuntu would you recommend… if indeed you’d recommend Ubuntu. I’m more comfortable with it than CentOS etc etc and would rather stick with it, but I’m looking to roll out the new version on a test server before integrating it into the main network. 0.32 has been fast, and stable, which are the two main things I really care about.

      To simplify… what Ubuntu distro would experienced users recommend and are there any pitfalls on the way with the new version tree?

    • Graph problem on main fog dashboard

      ok… this one speaks for itself once you take a look at my screenshot…

      Can anyone explain why this has happened, what I can do to fix it, and if it’s a known bug or something else?

      Anyone with anything similar or the same??

    • PXE redirect via a menu.

      Hi guys, just wondering if its possible to boot from a linux PXE server to a menu that defaults to booting fog, but gives the option to boot from SCCM if I so wish on given machines?

      So the menu would be for example:

      1. FOG (default after a few seconds)
      2. SCCM (affectionaly known in our workplace as SCUM)

      We have both environments and one guy insists on continually changing the dhcp scope on given vlans to accomodate these 2 servers.

    • RE: Any tips when buying new laptops?

      From personal experience in work… avoid Toshiba laptops like the plague. Cheap tacky, and if you want to get WoL working, forget it. Our department was budgeted a small amount to buy 300… they went with C660’s, MUCH to my dismay and expressed objections… we have other models too and they’re mostly all the same… AVOID!
