How relevant is Sharepoint at the moment? Is it worth learning?

Get a ubiquiti AP and a router and you'll be much happier.

This.

I like the Edge Router X and The UniFi AP

Well less then $200 for both.

Anyone know of anything like truecrypt that allow you to view files/edit files on mobile devices?

@scottalanmiller

I see a bunch of fields here. The only ones I would need to edit is server_name and proxy_pass?

Then just copy and paste to create more sites?

@scottalanmiller basic LAMP stack running WordPress for 5 domains using virtual hosts.

@scottalanmiller I would think it would make since to add it on my webserver? If not, I have made a new VM too. What would you do?

@scottalanmiller Thanks! I am looking for some kinda of step by step guide to get me started. Any ideas? I have googled, but I don't see much

Yes, two different VM's.

The problem is I need to run a web server, and screenconnect on the same domain, both using port 80.

So, I have 1 fixed IP address, and 2 webservers, both running on port 80.

I want subdomain #1 to resolve to server #1, and have subdoman #2 resolve to server #2.

I have been researching this, and it seems I can do this, if I setup a reverse proxy on port 80.

Anyone every do anything like this before?

What change in behaviour are you anticipating from identifying CentOS, Ubuntu, Suse, Fedora, Arch, etc.?

Different commands, - yum, vs apt-get, etc.

How often do you need to really know that at a glance?

You don't need to know at a glance, but why not? If you going to take up characters to define it as linux, why not give the distro instead?

@scottalanmiller said:

You could have something like nyc-ub1404-mysql55-1

But then do you change the name when you update? How much details goes into a hostname? How long does it get?

I didn't say anything about version numbers..... nyc-cent-web-1

@scottalanmiller Just using linux seems to vague, why not use distro instead?

@scottalanmiller when are you going to write up your Jumpbox How-To?

@IRJ Boring.

What do you name your servers?

The 5.0 release supports the latest guest or host operating systems including: Mac OS X Yosemite, Windows 10, Oracle Linux, Oracle Solaris, other Linux operating systems, and legacy operating systems. New capabilities in Oracle VM VirtualBox 5.0:

• Paravirtualization Support for Windows and Linux Guests: Significantly improves guest OS performance by leveraging built-in virtualization support on operating systems such as Oracle Linux 7 and Microsoft Windows 7 and newer.

• Improved CPU Utilization: Exposes a broader set of CPU instructions to the guest OS, enabling applications to make use of the latest hardware instruction sets for maximum performance.

• Support of USB 3.0 Devices: Guest operating systems can directly recognize USB 3.0 devices and operate at full 3.0 speeds. The guest OS can be configured to support USB 1.1, 2.0, and 3.0.

• Bi-Directional Drag and Drop Support for Windows: On all host platforms, Windows, Linux and Oracle Solaris guests now support “drag and drop” of content between the host and the guest. The drag and drop feature transparently allows copying or opening of files, directories, and more.

• Disk Image Encryption: Data can be encrypted on virtual hard disk images transparently during runtime, using the industry standard AES algorithm with up to 256 bit data encryption keys (DEK). This helps ensure data is secure and encrypted at all times, whether the VM is sitting unused on a developer's machine or server, or actively in use.
