Practicum 2 Journal 5 - January 8, 2014 - Telus Router Replacement?!

So today me and Wes worked a bit more on Zentyal, checking it out, and also getting terminal services working on Ubuntu Desktop with a program called xrdp (it acts like a terminal server allowing multiple people to connect to the same OS, but be logged in as themselves and even potentially at the same time as someone else but without the other knowing, and then me looking around at some other alternatives to Windows Server with little luck besides Zentyal.

Later on in the work day, when Wes went home I was messing with Ubuntu still, and Ken came and proposed an idea to me. His proposal was to replace the pile of Telus Routers he has with hopefully one box. Our initial thought was something like pfSense, so I looked into it more, and that is what seems to be the best option for what he wants.

This is the picture of what he has now:

So looks like I will be busy the next couple days figuring this out for him.
