I REALLY need to take the time to look at setting this up

Talk to @Katie she runs ours. It's a good system. Very enterprise.

I need it for the same reason you guys use it.

I've had little issue with stability with any MS OS since 2000. That was the last flaky one for me. NT4, XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 8.1 have all been solid. Windows 8.1 does seem exceptionally solid, though.

So I downloaded the Install for windows 8.1 Pro and it opened up but when I enter the key I got from the $14 thing way back when MS was offering it I get a messages that says this product key didn't work. Check it and try again. So Do I have to install windows 8 and then Windows 8.1? or what. Seems like a windows 8 key should work fine.

I'm using the ones on this page: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only

Install 8 first. Something about it will make it take the key. Mine wouldn't take the Windows 8 Pro key until I upgraded to 8.1 though. Really freaking weird...

who said good samaritans don't exist?

Kinda neat idea.

Interesting.. I'll have to see if this is an issue of mine as well.
Thanks

Wow ESXI is in no way linux, It doesn't even use a Linux Kernel it used a VMware custom made one. I'm not even sure if Xen does or not and that's a linux project.

Xen itself is Linux free. But 99% of deployments use Linux in the Dom0.

Well, that's what marketing has become. Keywords, essentialy #'s for consumers.

Only because it works. Marketers would use whatever customers make work. Customers drive the change.

That's debatable. Most people simply accept what they're given, in this context. The media pushes something, people accept it and further the process. It's like how everyone wears American Eagle, Hollister, Aeropostale, etc shirts. We're walking billboards. We want those shirts because everyone else does and they want it because they think it makes them cool, based on what they've been told/heard from the media. It all starts somewhere.

In this case it starts with the consumers. As they are the ones assuming claims that are not made.

I hate that they keep changing the names. Really lowers the value of the certs.

Great. I am looking forward to some serious feedback on it. It is a really exciting project.

SD and SSD really are the same thing. Just different cases, sizes or what have you. SD are perfectly reliable and usable for all kinds of general storage needs. There is a reason why so many systems today, from Raspberry Pi to Chomebooks use nothing except SD for their storage needs.

@ajstringham What is it currently doing/what's your error?

The site currently loads my site correctly but not the other website. Everything appears to be setup correctly. I can't figure out what the issue is.

Assuming this is still hosted internally, is your hairpin NAT rules picking up the second DNS name and rerouting appropriately? I cannot think of a scenario that wouldn't since it should all revolve around the IP, but just another thing to check.

Hairpin NAT rules?

When you host stuff at home, you will have a problem with NAT.

daerma.com resolves publicly my current IP.
but the internal server is on a local IP of course.
By default that means daerma.com should not be reachable from inside my network. because a DNS lookup will return the public IP. A router running standard NAT masquerade rules will not route it correctly because it is targeting the WAN port of the router from the LAN.
So there were special NAT rules called hairpining designed to handle it.

Almost every home router has it enabled by defualt. I have no idea how dd-wrt handles it, other than to know it has the functionality.

Agreed.

The book Predictably Irrational is quite excellent.

What do you think of my writing so far?
