Been working on this as my goal for daily use.
Things I've found so far:
MacSSH does not connect to openssh > 6.6.1 without help. I'm too lazy, just down graded those locally.
No VPN software can be found. I need to connect to cisco vpns to do my job.
Virtual PC 4.0 doesn't seem to want to install windows XP. It loops in an error. Could be my DVD drive, not too sure.
VPN isn't an issue for me, but the ssh thing may be an issue. So we may be in the same boat there.
I have a version of VPC though that came with windows xp on a premade disk image. I'll see if I can find it for you if that would help?
Would be awesome to see if the disk image runs under 4.0. For science anyways!
Debian Jessie is the only thing I've seen so far with OpenSSH6.7+ on it. I'm sure with some tweaking, it might not be an issue, but I don't know. 3 hours was too much time and I just recompiled 6.6.1. The reason I suggest 6.6.1 was the patch notes for 6.7 where they turned some features off. I wasn't sure if that meant, they were disabled, or removed, or what, so I went 6.6.1.
I just did a
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh --with-md5-passwords
I'm sure that's insecure, but they are private machines at home, so I'm not terribly worried. The WEP for airport has me more worried
Software I'm using all the time:
macSSH (there's a repo with 'updates' to it, but I couldn't get it to build out of the box)
realVNC FAT
timbuktu
nissus writer 6.5 (I assumed it would write a format my osx machine could use as I own nissus for that....)
project 3.0
VirtualPC
Transmit
Audion
Codewarrior
Finderpop
