      Contemplating building a copper pot still tonight. I have a lot of high test booze (mead) I want to refine into a fruity vodka-esque concoction.

          Counting down the clock (10minutes to go) and debating picking up a CloudatCost server (or 3) to host my personal Exchange, webserver, and DC

            There are licensing issues with using Windows on there. Be sure to read the threads on those before going that route. The Windows licenses come from you, not from CloudatCost, so that creates some pretty significant complications.

              If you want to do a Samba AD replacement and an Apache webserver, you are golden. If you want to do demo Windows licenses that you reinstall on a regular basis, you are fine. But we've not come up with a means of licensing Windows normal on a cloud because you can't control the hardware so you don't know the CPU count, the mobility of the VM, if VMs will be on the same hardware, etc.

                Was actually looking into Linux replacements for everything today. A ) For the licensing issues and B ) for the fact that I can get away with smaller servers.

                      Which is insane considering how every kid, everywhere goes to college now. College is the new high school (or middle school, based on the education level.) Seems like we must been like ten times as many colleges as we had when I went to college. My high school class only sent six people to college. That same school must send 80 kids every year to college now.

                        As someone who has focused on Linux Admin and Engineering work for the past decade, I'm all for this 🙂 I like Windows a lot, but there is a soft spot in my heart for Linux.

                        Especially CentOS and OpenSuse.

                          Heading to bed here. It is very late. Just kicked off an upload that is listed as taking 350 minutes 😞 At least I managed to get a few smaller uploads done before heading off to bed.

                                    Have you considered a smaller format?

                                          Check out Zimbra for a mail replacement. It has an awesome user interface, and the admin side is functional yet easy.

                                            Just got four calls in a row about HPs "exciting new" storage solution.... Why am I so lucky? This seems to be what they are trying to sell.... http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2015/03/19/hp-upates-hybrid-flash-arrays-other-data-center-storage-wares/
