True, true... but I can copy that iso image to another machine with a DVD drive or write it to USB drive... if I need to... My mac has been downloading Bootcamp drivers and writing them to the USB for an hour now... Just download it to an ISO file, a zip file, or a folder, something straight to the mac HD. I can then copy it off, and copy it back when I need it.
Now I have to copy all the files off of my one Jump drive, and turn around and convert that jump drive to Server 2012 installer, lol.

On a call and... my phone dies in the middle. Argh.

Edit: Why won't Mac BootCamp just download an ISO image with the drivers instead of insisting on writing it to a USB drive?
Because..... Mac

Other then not having hot-swap bays... this is tempting - http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Proliant-DL165-G7-server-2x-12-core-AMD-Opteron-6172-48GB-RAM-750GB-HD-/221952681299?hash=item33ad692553:g:dwYAAOSwAYtWK-61
nice - could make a nice place to play with a bunch of linux VMs
I wonder how loud it is?
Very loud. I don't know if that has a RAID controller either. Those Opterons aren't the most power friendly.
definitely knew they are power hungery little beasts! no RAID? hmm.. might not be worth it then... have to drop a $400-$800 RAID controller ... hmmm.
Software RAID... the non-hotswap is an issue too but not that bad.
Can you do software RAID on the boot drive in Hyper-V or XenServer?
I'd run XenServer from a USB key and setup those drives in an MD array.
What is an MD array?
-
Linux standard kernel level enterprise software RAID is "MD RAID." That is the "product name" of standard Linux RAID. BtrFS and ZFS will do software RAID on Linux as well, but are not part of the MD family. LVM RAID is just a different interface to the same MD RAID system.
-
@MattSpeller & @scottalanmiller we even wrote an article here on ML on how to install and configure an MD Array from a USB boot device.

Maybe we need an MD session at MangoCon

We have 20 of our 24 sessions for MangoCon sorta figured out

I believe this was already brought up on the MangoCon topic.

Yes. Using an iPad to prop open the front door.

@scottalanmiller For half a moment I actually thought you had a palm tree right in front of your door.

LMAO. Just a decoration on the security gate.

I feel like this needs a special tag like #firstworldsolutions

I think I like tmux better than screen.
