Long time sense my last post myself so here it goes... I am a Debian fan myself ... seems to fit my personality of a stable easy slow(er) changing server class operating system that has all the CLI bells and whistles that some of the newer GUI focused operating systems tend to if not cut out at least reduce focus on
I have been running installs of Debian for years I also have an active ubuntu install on my laptop, I went that way for simplicity of the laptop related apps and tools and with it being close enough to my real strengths to keep on top of. If you count all my current installs 1) Windows XP Pro (Physical) 2) Server 2008 (DC and TS) (Virtual) 3) Server 2003 (TS and Exchange and NAS (ISCSI connectivity) and DC) (Physical) 4) Vyatta (Physical, is my border firewall/router/NAT device) 5) Debian Etch (Web, MySQL, VMware) (Physical) 6) Debian Etch (NAS box with open-ISCSI for connectivity with my SAN array) (Phisical) So I am kind of all over the board with a few test installs of a half a dozen other virtual installs for testing and familiarity Also working on getting the hardware to work up a new ESXI machine, I have one at work but not at home ... that will be a bit in coming though ... once I get it solid and the hardware behind it I plan on cutting out a lot of the physical boxes when I can be assured of SAN performance Anyways thats the end of my geeking out On Mon, Aug 11, 2008 at 4:38 PM, Carl Wilhelm Soderstrom < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 08/11 04:09 , [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Do you run it off the live CD or installed?
