Yup, that's correct. The original Bourne Shell is what we call "shell" or is called sh at the command prompt. And the Korn Shell is not a silly name to rhyme with Bourne, it was actually a guy named Korn by coincidence.

@scottalanmiller What is the difference between a terminal emulator such as
konsoleorgnome-terminaland a virtual terminal process running behind your GUI that you can access with CTRL+ALT+F1-F6? I never use a GUI so I don't have one installed currently. -

I never use a GUI so I don't have one installed currently.One is emulating the VT100 in an application. The other is outputting directly to the screen. In reality, not very much different. Both are accessing a TTY device.

Anyone upgraded a Domain Controller from Server 2003 to either 2012 or 2016?

If you have WINS servers (don't ask) in a modern environment, do the WINS servers automatically override modern DNS (which would take care of defining what the DNS servers are itself)?

That's easy. You don't. It's like having a bright light in a dark room.

No choice. I'm just wondering how that resolves. WINS seems to override.

I haven't had a cup of coffee in two months. I'm studying today so I figured it would benefit me. My brain feels completely super powered after a large coffee from Dunkin. What a crazy feeling.

I wonder what a day without coffee would be like? hell, I'm guessing.

It wasn't easy. I'm surprised I didn't go through withdrawal honestly. I was expecting headaches.
