      Damn hot here... 38°C / 100°F.

      We're supposed to get upwards of 90°F today... this has been the worst summer in memory for a lot of people around here.

      Yeah here too.

        I'm just sorting some old LPs with my wife. Anyone knows a good price checker for them? There's some stuff included like old Beatles albums, Abba and so on.

                  There is a VMUG UserCon my organization is sending me to. I'll but up around 6:30 or 7 on the 3rd if anyone wants to get dinner.

                    I might be able to make that happen.

                              Because it's a desktop OS.

                                Agreed, why not a more normal Linux like Ubuntu or CentOS?

                                  @Dashrender I've used it as a server base for years and never had any problems. Given I've never done it in a work environment but I find it's ease of use and familiar GUI quite refreshing. I love running a mint (server) @ home.

                                      That's all well and fine, and you can probably get away with that on your desktop - but if you're trying to do IT, why would you do something you shouldn't be doing in a production environment?

                                        It's a really great Desktop OS but being an Ubuntu distribution doesn't give you the best learning platform for running actual enterprise servers. Something like CentOS or OpenSUSE would be much better for learning Linux Server Administration.

                                          Ubuntu is Debian-based and as good as a server OS as everything else. The question is: What makes a Linux distro a server distro? Things like stable kernels, stable packets, available support, good documentation etc. are comming to mind here.

                                          CentOS is a decent RedHat based distribution and it isn't any better or worser than Debian-based Ubuntu, IMHO. Mint on the other hand, well, you might have issues with some unstable or at least not well tested packages.

                                          If you want to go the Debian-route, skip Mint and use Ubuntu or Ubuntu Server.

                                            Yes... Mint on a Server... I view it is no different than installing Hyper-V on Windows 8.1. I or Server 2012 Standard. I still need want the GUI on this server... and I Like Mint 18 anyhow... so why not?
