OpenSuse 11.2 server
by David Mehler 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

Hello, Is anyone running OpenSuse 11.2 in either a virtual machine or on a physical box? If so, please contact me. I've got to use it to start a project and am finding it unmanageable. Thanks. Dave.

Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Anyone tried out the XP virtual machine for Windows 7 with JFW/We?
by Ryan Shugart 10 Dec '09

Andrew: I've tried it with Window-eyes, and it works, but badly. It basically sets up an XP VM, and you RDP into that with a special client. The virtual synnthesizer doesn't work so speech is sluggish, and Window-eyes doesn't pass commands through properly either.

Oh OK I guess we were talking about two different versions. The Windows one seems pretty accessible and it doesn't have to be in place on the perimeter of the network.

More on the aerohives, not so bad and pretty accessible
by Scott Granados 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Hi, so I posted a while ago about Aerohives and wondered if anyone had used their products. For what it's worth, I just deployed 8 access points and a hive manager with out to much trouble and no eyeballs required. The manager is web based but the web content is pretty simple and JFW 10 doesn't have any issues. The access points themselves use a standard serial cable for console access and have an IOS like command line interface. (not IOS but sort of similar) You get all sorts of configurable features and while the configuration flow is a little screwy it's not totally illogical. If you need a wireless infrastructure and need accessible devices aerohive might be for you. Also, the support is very responsive. Thanks Scott
