    This will be good for things like the Rocket.Chat system too. Was thinking that we would get that up and running in the lab for communication between people working in the lab so that they could coordinate easily. Although perhaps just an IRC channel would make more sense for that. But delivering those kinds of things over ZeroTier is easy.

    XO makes it easy. You can just create one with their interface.

    I suppose you could install the XO VM using a URL to pull the ISO for installation.

    Okay, so the fibers issue is related to it not liking the NVM installation of Node.

    So on CentOS 7, the secret is to install the epe-release, then install nodejs. This installs Node v0.10.36, which is not what anyone wants. But once that is installed, you can go back to using NVM and a modern Node release and fibers is able to install!

    So...

    yum -y install epel-release yum -y install nodejs npm install fibers

    Ta da

    Dont know what the heck happend with this computer but nothing I did seem to fix it - including sfc scannow, registry changes and more as suggested in other articles I found with the same problem. I managed to resolve it by running a full restore of the OS. I chose to keep files but re-install Windows. Doing this fixed the problem and I still had all my data. I hope this helps others down the line.

    @MattSpeller I have fixed small issues only in bread board only.Not even done the project in Electronics board.

    Hey breadboards are good stuff. I suggest you get one and play around making some circuits with a 555 timer before you solder stuff together.

    Are you the reviewer of this data like NTG can be, instead of Dell direct?

    If that's really the case and it removes Dell's sales people from the equation, hot damn that's awesome!

    In theory. Yes

    In practice? We'll see if Dell maintains that.

    i am using Windows as OS then use VMware Workstation.

    Unlikely that is going to work. VMware Workstation does not expose the parts of the CPU needed by KVM. So when you install KVM on top of it, it cannot run.

    I use PRTG for all network monitoring/logging and they have tons of customization options for dashboard views.

    I like PRTG also, it offers 100 sensors for free.

    Easy to setup and with a very good mobile app.

    I definitely recommend certs, just getting them strategically and making sure to get lots of value out of them as an educational process and not relying on them purely as a career growth item.

    Agreed, the problem I think comes from a lot of people think the absolute inverse of that and see more value in college or certs than experience.

    If I may butt in here and show off I've talked about the text editor war on my blog (and here) before:

    http://tonyshowoff.com/articles/vi-vs-emacs-nope-theyre-both-terrible-and-obsolete/ (link to MangoLassi conversation in post)

    In all seriousness, because the post is a little over the top, if you want to be a sysadmin with Linux, Unix, BSD, old SunOS machines from the stone ages, etc you really need to know how to use vi. I know how to use vi, I despise it, but it's necessary from time to time. Often there are easier, less terrible editors available, but not always, and sometimes other editors aren't capable of completing the task for whatever reason (vipw for example).

    My personal recommendations are nano or pico or FreeBSD's formerly popular "ee", I use these pretty much all the time, except, again, vi does come up.
