Holy cow time is flying by today. I've already been up and working for five hours. More than half of my day is already used up!! So much to do...

We are actually venturing into doing custom branded cases as well. With employees all over the world having custom equipment will be nice.

Yeah lets recommend implementing a router that's been EOL'd since 2006 just because it's cheap on ebay. Actual knowledge seems to be getting less and less lol. http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/849893-cheap-router-with-the-option-of-multiple-public-ip-address-nat

Well, it's a local newspaper, I'm sure the only thing they need to do these days is shut down and sell off the assets.

Sounds like it as they have 3 IT positions that recently came open and they closed them all.

Can you install point releases that way? I've been doing it with patches but they released 6.5 in January and I am thinking about updating to that. According the this https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/migrate-from-xenserver-6-2-to-6-5/ it seems seamless updates are built into the release. Hopefully it won't affect my software raid.

Your unofficial software RAID?
I'm not sure I understand?
-
I'm sure it will affect the raid though. It's not supported by XenServer without modification.

XenServer doesn't support software RAID. Xen does, XenServer does not.

Oh, yeah I got that. Have to figure out the best way to back it up and rebuild it. I really need to invest in a NAS or something for local backups.

OMG, Forest Gump is on in the house. Even just hearing from time to time I can't stand that movie.

Oh, yes I knew that. This is a personal server where I didn't have a RAID card so I just set it up with the MD utility on XenServer. I know it isn't officially supported. Been working fairly well so far though.
