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.

@Hubtech Oh, didn't realize you're a partner yourself. Sorry. Lol

@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?!?!? -.-

@art_of_shred Sounds good.

@roguepacket In light of recent events, and I'm leaving it at that, I would be very surprised if I got asked to speak.

@ChristopherO I do believe drinks are in order for this man!

@scottalanmiller Yup. Good to see it growing. 🙂

Are you trying to connect your application to its database?

@scottalanmiller Has? How'd that work? I can see @psx_defector drinking every drink before it gets to you. And that's when he's 3 feet way...:P

Riding the Wave of awesome sauce.

Don't have the exact link where I am at the moment.

There's a TON of good content in there.

Thanks!

@Bill-Kindle They are long convoluted typical MS Questions, but The material is fairly simple.

I used Visual Cert Exam for testing. I think I paid like $20 for it 10 years ago

I'm also setting this up inside an ESXi VM.. do I need to install VM tools?

Yes

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.

I definitely like the ability to embed videos. I thought that would be a great feature over at SW.

I'm loving it.

Correct, no cons once you get it working and surpass the minimum count.

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.

@scottalanmiller Correct. Windstream, Patech, Cavelier all the same shiz. and shiz they are.
