      The default selection when installing Server is without the GUI. You would have to select Desktop Experience for a GUI.

                      Gotta setup a Domain controller now, it wont let me do anything else (add user, computers, etc. ) until I do.

                        Just in case you're starting a new AD: Better go read a few articles about AD DNS setup, naming conventions and general best practices before configuring the role. Choosing a good root level domain name is of utmost importance and it shouldn't be changed later.

                        It's possible, but requires expert level knowledge. It's like jumping through a minefield - blindfolded on a pogo stick.

                              @WrCombs I did Choco based VBox installs last night!

                              ha Nice ! i opened VBox and it said there was an upgrade available, decided it was a good time to go a head and upgrade that.

                              I run mine headless. I automate it from the command line via MeshCentral.

                              Wonder what it would take to automate upgrades like that via Powershell.. New project!

                              use chocolatey itself to update it self automatically

                              choco install choco-upgrade-all-at -y

                                    That's annoying, the column command has limited amount of options in Debian 10 and Ubuntu 19.10 compared to Fedora. I have a script that uses column and the option that I'm using doesn't exist with the version on Debian/Ubuntu.

                                      you could compile a version from source. Or maybe replace column with a combination of awk and sed?

                                        No go with compiling since I sometimes use my script while using a Live distro installer. Maybe I can use awk and/or sed but the formatting is off compare to using column. I'll just stick with using Fedora Live installers when I want to run the script in a live session.

                                            ext4 is a given. What is common in the SMB realm?

                                            ext4 is what you find in the SMB 98% of the time. XFS is what we recommend most of the time.

                                            Why XFS over EXT4 ? Honestly curious.

                                            Reliability, performance. EXT4 has some essentially pointless features that make it popular with the non-production set like the ability to shrink an on the fly partition. Not something you use in prod or a server, not something I've ever used, but in theory, a niche need in a lab or consumer system. But giving up performance or stability for that? Crazy (outside of lab or consumer.)

                                            EXT4 is very good for a desktop, and has a slight edge in the small file transactions common there. XFS has a performance edge with nearly all workloads. Nothing is the best always.

                                            Thanks for the heads up. On our systems at work that use it, it seems to have a 1MB block file. Is that the norm for XFS?
