@scottalanmiller I might do that. Let's say I have a file that has the following line of text aabbccin a file called abc.txt. (Using part of their example)
If I do grep .cc abc.txt a result is returned, since I've learned that the dot stands for one character. However, if I do grep ?cc abc.txt no results are returned. I thought the ? stands for zero or one character. If that's true, why would it not return a result?
Seeing how well their community responds. I asked a question about grep and regular expressions.

@scottalanmiller said in SMB / Enterprise Hardware for Linux Environment:
However, something very important.... you would expect to only run Linux (with very rare exception) as a VM, not on the bare metal. In that way, same as Windows, however....
Unlike Windows, two major hypervisors leverage Linux. KVM and Xen. So when using those you need Linux to be on the bare metal AND in a VM.
That's what I figured as far as almost all instances of Linux being VMs (as our one CentOS server is a Hyper-V VM). Although I have a beefy desktop at home, on which I can run several Hyper-V VMs, my goal is to try to get my hands on some of the hardware that would be potentially used in a business, in order to do some of the projects mentioned in those articles.
So these two things have lit a fire inside me:

and

The next step is becoming less ignorant about the hardware used by Linux shops (learning has to start somewhere, right?). Am I right in assuming said SMB shops would/could use the same Dell PowerEdge hardware we use where I am and expect CentOS to have drivers to support it?
Moved on to documenting Exchange Online configuration 
Revisiting linuxacademy.com. Finishing a module before I head to sleep.
@DustinB3403 Luckily I have a taste aversion to alcohol 
Finally able to get back to my "real" project of creating DR documentation.
Reading about split tunneling. Learning mode = on.
@gjacobse My guess was right about the zoom slider. I just enjoyed the assumption that I'd magically know exactly what she did and how to fix it.
User: I hit something while doing emails, and now my signature and any responses are super tiny. Any idea what I did and how to change it back?
Me: (in my head) In a word, "no."
Me: (typed into Slack) Perhaps you messed with the zoom in the lower right corner.
Looking forward to reading and learning on this thread, as eventually the "replace our aging AltiGen PBX and T1" project will come to the front burner.
