1. RT-Users The question was "Anyone use RT virtualised?". Your answer was "Yes, we do it in Proxmox, and by the way here are the reasons why proxmox is better than other virtualisation products" rather than "yes, we do it in Proxmox, here's some info about running RT in proxmox" 2. The wiki When proxmox was added to the installation instructions page, rather than adding an appropriate entry for proxmox in the specifics section (as it is now) or below, it was added at the very top in its own section so a paraphrased version of the page looked like this: Installation Instructions: 1. Proxmox 2. Source 3. Platform-Specific I see no problem whatsoever in putting a link to proxmox installation instructions on that page, in fact it's THE place to put it, but I found making it the number one entry on the page in that way distasteful. I by no means want to discourage people from using proxmox, I don't want to discourage you from recommending it to people as an option, I don't even wish to suggest your contributions to the community are anything less than angelic. I just thought that the way you were advertising it was very overbearing and appeared intensely commercial. -- Kind Regards, __________________________________________________ Mike Peachey, IT Tel: +44 114 281 2655 Fax: +44 114 281 2951 Jennic Ltd, Furnival Street, Sheffield, S1 4QT, UK Comp Reg No: 3191371 - Registered In England http://www.jennic.com __________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: sa...@bestpractical.com Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media.
