Glad you got them going. :) Jumpstart's not so bad, and the documentation is great.

Remote install question

Workstations with no optical? If they're that old they probably won't support any recent updates of Solaris 10. If you want to use the latest update then make sure they have 1GB RAM. Jumpstart is the way to go. You can just grab a Solaris VM and fire it up in virtualbox to serve everything out...

Ping 10.0.0.99...Reply from 10.0.0.102????

It's a little bit weird, but not unheard of. Almost certainly has nothing to do with proxies, though (wrong layer).

Why are 19 inch server rack enclosures SO expensive?

Racks are expensive when you want them, and worthless when you want to sell them. Set up IFTTT to troll local Craigslist and eBay listings. About 6-7 years back I got a 32U 4-post with a 2U 1500VA UPS, 3ea 4U chassis with rails (they had Athlon 700 servers in them, garbage), three fixed...

Resize an LVM partition

Just about every livecd/usb will have lvm tools installed where you can perform LVM administration. Centos ISO files from 6.5 and up can be dd'ed out to a USB stick.

Shellshock Bash Vulnerability

It's an automation command to yum update bash on all servers known to ansible. That's about 3200 linux servers for me.

Questions about running ssh from public wifi

Seconding the recommendation to use public key authentication and set PermitRootLogin to no. I would also recommend disabling password authentication altogether after you get the public key auth part figured out. Seconding the VPN recommendation. You can just use duckdns or something for a...

fail2ban syntax

What I would do here is just VPN home, and use dynamic DNS at home. Then you can pop3/pop3s or ssh as you want. See duckdns The changing IP isn't an insurmountable issue for firewall whitelisting, you can just run a dig against a dynamic dns address every so often via a cron job to create an...

How difficult is it to get 2 video cards to work in Ubuntu?

You shouldn't really need to edit xorg, hotplug should be able to pick up new devices when they come up. I would try to stay with the same chipset vendor across cards, as the management tools can make life a little easier.
