Whilst I am not a fan of Juniper Network Connect in the last few years I have had to connect to several networks that use it.  The biggest problem with it is that it is a combination of Java and a 32bit C library which will not work when executed with a 64bit version of Java.
There are other ways of connecting such as the Mad Scientist script but if you use things like two-factor authentication this will not work.  So I brought together things I have learnt from web postings about getting it to work in Ubuntu and have created these steps.  They work in Fedora 17 and should work in 16 too:
Step 1We need to install OpenJDK Java, we also need xterm for the root password during installation:

sudo yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk.i686 java-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64 icedtea-web xterm

Step 2Now we need to tell Java to execute the Juniper …

Red Hat’s $136m acquisition of open source storage vendor Gluster marks Red Hat’s biggest buy since JBoss and starts the fourth quarter with a very intersting deal. The acquisition is definitely good for Red Hat since it bolsters its Cloud Forms IaaS and OpenShift PaaS technology and strategy with storage, which is often the starting point for enterprise and service provider cloud computing deployments. The acquisition also gives Red Hat another weapon in its fight against VMware, Microsoft and others, including OpenStack, of which Gluster is a member (more on that further down). The deal is also good for Gluster given the sizeable price Red Hat is paying for the provider of open source, software-based, scale-out storage for unstructured data and also as validation of both open source and software in today’s IT and cloud computing storage.

I`m not the biggest fan of openSUSE but this weeks post by Colin Charles makes me happy ..

openSUSE users can now do a mariadb install from their default repositories.

With all the fuzz about Snoracle and MySQL's future last year to me it became clear that we would end up having different MySQL based distributions, probably with different names, and that it would be up to the Linux distributions to provide the users with what they preferred, working with those Linux distributions
therefore would be very important for the MySQL distributions.

Sadly my Fedora box doesn't allow me to do a yum install mariadb yet ... but I`m sure that's only a matter of time ..
