New server config

Well when it came to getting the server installed between other obligations and my desire to do it right I’ve resolved myself to the fact that I’m actually going to have to plan this setup out.

Virtual Machines for Real Work?

Virtualization in IT has opened up technical doors that many large software vendors have no idea how to deal with. Not that running Windows on a Mac hasn’t been done before, but doing it while running a linux distro and testing freetds with the latest mssql server all on the same box sure was. This […]
