  Haven't used BSD since my days at Data General. DG/UX was a hybrid, BSD for the file system (faster and more robust), networking used streams from ATT Sys V. I have now dated myself.

  Find it odd you have GNOME at the bottom. Again though, I haven't given them enough or really any time as of late, to have an opinion. GNOME at least was my favorite but they could have ruined it in recent years.

  @scottalanmiller said: @ajstringham said: @scottalanmiller Really?! One of the best movies out there. Period. Easily on my top 10. Really, it's a niche film. Only know a few people who have seen it and only a few of those that liked it. I found it nearly unbearable, a showcase of bad acting. I've actually used it as an example of the worst acting I know of in any mainstream movie many times. Umm...wha...what...what the heck are you talking about?! UNBEARABLE?!?!? -.-

  DNS used to take 48 hours. Now it takes more like 4. But it is not your DNS provider that determines that, so be cautious.

  Not that dramatic. Self hosted works out to more than $4/mo unless you cut ridiculous corners like having no backup or no SmartHost. But you can self host under $12/u/mo normally.

  IOPS are the biggest concern really. But without anything like a database which really needs them, RAID 6 might be more than enough. Exchange wouldn't be a big concern as it is not IOPS heavy. RAID 10 is far better tuned for heavy writes, but if reads are the vast majority, RAID 6 will keep right up.
