@scottalanmiller Ok whats like your minimum for any position? Is that better lol

The various NTG ventures have staff in many countries that I am aware of.

In some of those, an extremely low rate when listed in USD is likely their pay. But in their country, they are likely paid better than average.

That is at least what @scottalanmiller has insinuated multiple times without ever giving specifics.

Ok thanks for the info. He said the same to me.

Setting up a few new users, two new hires yesterday.

Lots of onboarding going on here. One new hire is in his notice period with previous employer and got his desk phone delivered yesterday. And we hired two more yesterday, so gotta get phones moving for them now!

So do your staff work from home Scott? Do they visit client sites on a schedule or only when req'd or not at all? Just interested.

Reviewing configuring sudo access (other than just dropping a user into the wheel group) and autofs.

Like most "simple" tools, you can do a lot of managing who is allowed to run what with it.

True. During my practice session I had to reference man pages a couple of times for syntax, but I'm ok with that for the exam, since they're available.

hey i'm thinking of running up a linux distro as a VM on Hyper-V to run mesh central on.
I don't really want to have to remember too much linux stuff, so what is one of the better linux distros for windows users?
I usually look for something with lots of online support/forums so when I google for answers I get lots of results.

Debian/Ubuntu and CentOS/Fedora

I have only used Ubuntu, CentOS and Fedora as VMs on Hyper-V.

I used Ubuntu for my MeshCentral instance since that's what's used in their install documentation.

For a server, they are all equal "for Windows users." None will be better than another.

If you know one already, that one will be better. Otherwise, pick the one that just generally does best what you want to do.

think i'll have a crack Ubuntu.

Regarding mesh central, can anyone remember where the My Files folder lives in the filesystem? I'm trying to locate the 'My Files' folder so I can dump some files in there via Windows Explorer.
