@aaronstuder , Dan is out of the office. Has someone at xByte been in contact with you? If this hasn't already been addressed, I will have his sales associate contact you. @BRRABill is correct, we will make it right!

@travisdh1 Need to install GCC 5 tomorrow on a Pi. Now this won't be fun at all I'm afraid.
Need it for some custom code that was written with heavy use GCC 5 features...

Yuck. I got away with using the older gcc 4:4.6.3-8. Turns out i2c was the basis VESA, SMBus, PMBus, and IPMI were based on, which means it's very, very old.

Good old I2C. I'm still using a driver which I wrote myself like, erm, 10 to 15 years ago?

You mean no P2V process?

Trying to get Microsoft to give me some kind of a discount for buying licensing so I can have 6 permanent VM's running. They really don't do anything for individuals who want to learn by creating an entire business infrastructure. You'd think they would want as many people as they can possibly get to start learning and using their product.
wherefore art thou Linux

You could always just... learn Linux.

You are doing it wrong.
For a learning environment, tear everything down and start from scratch, you'll get more practice building things if you have to keep re-doing them versus a permanent environment.
Microsoft give you 4 months of eval time for their server installs, What will you be running that you need it operational for longer than 4 months?
The whole point of the eval centre is for exactly that reason, proof of concepts, learning new tech, etc. - What do you need to build that you can't build in a few hours with a VM host?

I agree but after a good amount of time I'm going to actually want to do things with the server that would be permanent. I guess I'll just do it in Linux when that happens

I'm refreshing a database on an iPad at the moment.
The killer point to me is that everyone says "delete the app and then reinstall" as if something magical will happen to shorten the refresh time.
Download the database from scratch (full refresh) problem solved. Deleting the app doesn't "retain the database". A full refresh occurs in this case.
So stop being L-user.
