Trying to get Microsoft to give me some kind of a discount for buying licensing so I can have 6 permanent VM's running. They really don't do anything for individuals who want to learn by creating an entire business infrastructure.
You are doing it wrong.
For a learning environment, tear everything down and start from scratch, you'll get more practice building things if you have to keep re-doing them versus a permanent environment.
Microsoft give you 4 months of eval time for their server installs, What will you be running that you need it operational for longer than 4 months?
The whole point of the eval centre is for exactly that reason, proof of concepts, learning new tech, etc. - What do you need to build that you can't build in a few hours with a VM host?
I agree but after a good amount of time I'm going to actually want to do things with the server that would be permanent. I guess I'll just do it in Linux when that happens

Well obviously. Even if you got Windows learning licenses if you wanted it to be permanent you would end up violating the license because you took it to production. So you'd need Linux for that anyway.

You mean no P2V process?
Not one I've found that works

On a consult call right now.

sfdisk + rsync? There a loads of tutorials available. Google for something like "move [my distro] to new harddisk"
There's a good one for ArchLinux as far as I remember. The procedure is basically always the same, you may need to adapt a bit if you are using LVM for example.

My kids definitely learn more traveling than at school, school is a waste of time, by the way they're homeschooled so I lied a bit, they learn more in homeschool as well. I'm just using this as an opportunity to crap on schools.

Apparently today is Prime Day on Amazon. Some good deals so far.

Just ordered a pizza and poured one of these...

Ommegane is local to the Rochester region, they have some really awesome beers. They also have a beer coming out that is some how in conjunction with Game of Thrones (I heard this on the news this morning)

Like putting a label on it?
Come over here, I'll get you a real one

They (Ommegane) are also working to bring hops production back to NY.
After prohibition, hops pretty much died off in NY, but NY was the number one producer before hand.
Now it's imported, and often taste worse because of the travel that the crop has to endure.

I know several hop growers in NY. Pretty sure that @coliver is somehow involved in some. We have friends with a brewery in the Rochester area that grow their own as well.
Hops have already come back pretty hard and, in fact, NY requires that beer makers use a certain percentage of NY hops and it is causing beer production problems because NY can't make enough hops fast enough.

It's probably the same here and over at your place: The small breweries are great, everything else is just mass production...
And planting hops locally isn't that bad, could create some jobs and you won't have to import as much.

Oh it's good. Although NY agriculture is already so big that it's hard for it to grow. Anything grown just displaces something else.
