Our Linux dept. has had a brain-fart and decided that all their Linux servers should use single sign-on. Funny I thought to myself. All my ebil M$ monopoly servers do that shit straight out of the box. Oh well, I thought to myself lets hear the guy out. So after listening about how Kerberos and LDAP are the same thing and that there is Active Directory and Active Directory Lite (Lite was LDAP only and AD was Kerberos only) I started to wonder. How in the hell would they ever get it to work if they lost the plot already.
So I left it at that because as you probably already know, Microsoft engineers dont really know much except click OK and restart blue-screened servers. Then I got thinking, OMG this will become my problem. Shit on a donkey I don't have time for that. I have like malware and Sasser to eradicate. So being the proactive moron I usually am I decided I will investigate this myself.
In goes the openSUSE ISO, installed it via VM and now I watching paint dry as it attempts to install 355MB of package updates. Anyway I'm now on hour 3 of having done nothing but watch it struggle to get an IP and to attempt to install updates. I dont have much hope of it booting after updating but thats what snapshots are for.

Edit:
OMF. Running the YAST Software Manager to install 5 updates results in the windows spewing out complicated error messages. So after closing the package manager and opening it again now indicates that 4 of the 5 updates were installed even though YAST complained that they FAILED. Guess which app complains about installing. Yep, you guessed it... Flash.
Edit:
I have a solution to the issue. I right-cliked the VM profile for the Linux install and selected delete. Problem solved. They can figure out thier own SSO. My shit just works with zero hassle. Stupid fucking Linux shit.
