Are you trying to connect your application to its database?

@scottalanmiller Has? How'd that work? I can see @psx_defector drinking every drink before it gets to you. And that's when he's 3 feet way...:P

Riding the Wave of awesome sauce.

It is on www.scottalanmiller.com/linux

Don't have the exact link where I am at the moment.

There's a TON of good content in there.

Thanks!

@IRJ fixed

@Bill-Kindle They are long convoluted typical MS Questions, but The material is fairly simple.

I used Visual Cert Exam for testing. I think I paid like $20 for it 10 years ago

I'm also setting this up inside an ESXi VM.. do I need to install VM tools?

Yes

DNS used to take 48 hours. Now it takes more like 4. But it is not your DNS provider that determines that, so be cautious.

I definitely like the ability to embed videos. I thought that would be a great feature over at SW.

I'm loving it.

Correct, no cons once you get it working and surpass the minimum count.

Not that dramatic. Self hosted works out to more than $4/mo unless you cut ridiculous corners like having no backup or no SmartHost. But you can self host under $12/u/mo normally.

IOPS are the biggest concern really. But without anything like a database which really needs them, RAID 6 might be more than enough. Exchange wouldn't be a big concern as it is not IOPS heavy. RAID 10 is far better tuned for heavy writes, but if reads are the vast majority, RAID 6 will keep right up.

@scottalanmiller Correct. Windstream, Patech, Cavelier all the same shiz. and shiz they are.

@scottalanmiller Okay Mr. FancyPants Linux 😛

I've used a Motorola before and it's pretty nice. Was designed for the Xoom but it's good in general as well.

@Reid-Cooper Yes TED has some great stuff.

That was pretty good.

@Hubtech Ah ok. I knew SaaS but had just never seen it in that context. The original makes sense. Just not terms I had seen before.
