And there was much rejoicing.

No, certainly not. tasksel merely selects the appropriate packages out of Debian's repo and installs them for you. This is far superior to the *AMP one-click installer packages.

one quick comment. There's no need to sign your posts, in fact it's strongly discouraged. Your sig block is posted with each question or answer you give, so anything else is just noise.

@Chris S - Wow, another day, another RFC learned that I had never seen before. Thanks!

I agree with John and Mark below - the PIX and ASA are separate product lines, with separate configuration syntax, capabilities, etc. They should stay separate.

Agreed...I did vote to migrate, but should have just voted to close. Note to self to pay more attention to that in the future. :)

@Gilles, you're free to disagree, but you'll find that most of the mods and frequent contributors will agree with 100% of what I said. There are times when something about a post just doesn't seem right - perhaps when the OP doesn't appear to be giving the whole story. In an ideal world we'd be able to assume that everyone has good intentions, but unfortunately that's not the case. The mission of this site is to promote and encourage good systems and network practices - when something doesn't adhere to that, it needs to get closed.
