My workplace blocks all ports except VPN, HTTP, HTTPS and FTP, so I figure
the best way to get out is with VPN. Also, my ISP (Cox) seems to block
incoming HTTP requests, so I can't pipe SSH through port 80 like I
originally wanted. Anyone have a good solution? I noticed there are quite
a few Cox users on the list.

I actually already run gentoo on several boxes, I was just trying to feel
out what the group liked the most. The group I participated with in Utah
was a very Debian oriented organization and were kind of "elitest" in
Debian.

Another question, is there an IRC server for the LUG?

Thanks again!
