For a colleague of mine at the University of Tilburg (Netherlands) I connected his new gadget to the internet. He wrote the following on his webblog

[communitysense.wordpress.com]

I have to work a lot on Tilburg University campus, and continuously need to access the Internet, which is one main reason I bought my ASUS EEE laptop. However, to get access on campus one needs a VPN connection. On Windows machines, it is no problem to install the Cisco VPN client, but, alas, not so for Linux machines like mine. Raymond Mul, ICT manager at the Faculty of Law, and avid Linux enthusiast, has been so kind to write a short manual (in Dutch) explaining how to make the university network open up for Linux lovers as well.

If you find this howto useful, please leave a note. If the Dutch characters look scary to you, purchase me to write this howto in English. ;o)

Start with installing the software for your mac. The current release is v4.55 [2008-03-27].When installed there are to programs “~/Applications/eToken/”. PKIMonitor, which will be available on your “menu bar”, and an application called eToken Properties.

If you followed the installation procedure then you are at the point for inserting the eToken. While looking at the eToken a red led should lid up. That’s a good thing!

First thing you need to do is “initialize” your eToken.Open up “Open eToken Properties”, click eToken , click “Advanced”, click “Initialize eToken”, Set User and Administrator passwords (both different and strong”, click “Advanced” and check the box “Load 2048-bit RSA key support”. Click Okay, Okay, Okay, I’ve stopped counting….

Finally at least! My vw type 2 from 1970 has been slammed. Friday, 21 December, I had an arrangement with Erwin from http://www.volksprojects.com. I left Hilvarenbeek, a small village nearby Tilburg, @ 7:00 and arrived at 8:30u.

Since it was pretty cold that day and my butt was freezing off, I kindly grabbed the hot offered coffee by Erwin. After having the basic needs we started on “the” project. With Erwin as guru, everything went pretty smoothly. The new front-beam was ready to build underneath, prepared with raster plates nicely weld on the beam.

Almost with the same ease as the original beam, it was replaced underneath. Then we build it up and the front was done. BTW when I mention “we” most of the time I’ll refer to Erwin ;-) The adapters, converting 5×112 to 5×130, where placed and also the 6j Fuchs 16″ wheels. In front, the tyre size is 185/50/16. This setup gives me about a small inch between the tire and shield.

Here you can find some pics of our “new” house wich we have the key since may ’07. We knew when we bought this house, we had to take in mind that some work had to be done, understatement! Since there was no bath room we joined one of the other rooms to the, very small, existing bath room. A very luxes 1,5 m2 space….. First month we stripped the place, floors, ceilings, walls, etc., etc. Tune in for the next phase!
