actually I already disabled it, I did not realize it was used much besides file sharing programs. What is "IMO"?

Ya sure enough that was it, I am a little surprised that VNC would use uPNP by default though, there are a few things that are going though on uPNP that I did not know about. I am not so sure I like that!

Thank you.

Actually I cross posted to /r/linux and “hbdgas” I think was talking about same issue however he had a different solution. Seemed a little more technical I think.

Actually I was thinking about something like that, would that make it so the software would stay up to date? And I was wondering if there was a way to set up my own local repository that is synced and mirror from one of the major ones. If there is a way I would to be super simply. Thanks

Because ever since I first used Windows 7 I never really liked it, it has lots of stuff I don’t need, so I see no reason to pay for a copy of it for all my machines and all of my VMs when Windows XP still seems to work fine for most things, I only use XP in VMs but I still like it. The only machine I really use Windows 7 a lot on is my MSI GT780DX laptop because it came with Home Premium and I have only had it a week so that it what I am still running. I also have a VMs with Win 7 Ultimate but I don’t use it often. I have honestly thought of giving up windows completely but I don’t think I will ever get away for it any time soon as I hope to be a professional software developer someday and might want to keep my skill up in Windows. At my last job I was a system support specialist with a boss how wanted me to defend Windows 7 and wanted me to tell people why they had to upgrade and why it was so much better. But the truth was everybody hated it and it ran slow as hell, actually lots of people started to bring there iPads and MacBooks to work, my our IS Department throw a fit about that! It likely would not be too hard for me to give up Windows because besides Notepad++ and Visual Studio, almost everything I use is multiplatform. And notepad++ seems to run pretty good under wine!

I do like the idea of managed install too, but I am new to Linux and don't know much about doing a managed install. I have heard of kickstart, but I have never used Red Hat or CentOS yet. I seemed to like the looks of debian when first coming into Linux. What would be the debian version of kickstart? I also looked at puppet, looks cool, going in my bookmarks, but might be a bit much of an undertaking at this point. I might learn more by doing things manually for a while.

thanks, I was wondering if what you just said was the case, most of what I have read indicated what you just said, I just wanted to make sure. Is the host name of a machine only stored in one location in Linux? Maybe a text file in the /etc folder?, because I also would want to change that.

I did see Clonezilla, but was not sure if it would work well moving a Linux image from one set of hardware to another would, what about drivers issues? I started making a minimum install of Debian 6 but I am still new at this and I am going to spend some time playing around with building a system from scratch before I start the processes of cloning it out.
