Welcome.

Welcome to the Twisted Pear Blog.

My name is Robin and I am a Network Manager base in the north of England. I specialise in Novell and Linux Servers as well as Cisco Networking and IP Telephony. Through this blog I will try to impart snippets of information that will help people to overcome issues that sometimes get clouded in BIGGER pictures. I will try to give basic instruction on how to impliment tings rather than massive indepth discussion.

I am currently slowely progressing through my CCNA, so everyhting I find that's not particularly clear I will try and put my own spin on it to try and make it more easily understood.

I will also be posting from real situations we encounter as we go through our day to day support tasks.

If you have coments or questions then I will attempt to provide or find a solution.

I use
VMware ESX & Server
SLES Linux
Mandriva
Windows ( although not my strong point )
Netware 6.5
Ubuntu
Cisco Routers and Switches
Cisco Call Manager 6.x and Unit Connection 2.x


I hope you find it helpful.
