    Welp, adding services to Server 2013 is harder than it was in 2003. Can I click a "Be an AD controller please" button and be done with it?

    I admin both OSes, linux ranges from as hard (something like Ubuntu), to harder (CentOS) to "oh god make it stop" (gentoo). But the end result is wicked fast.

    Wicked fast and small! I have a linux IPAM server (Netdot) in a VM and it only uses about 50MB of memory for the whole thing, OS and all. Peaked at 89MB! It's crazy!

    How do you like your SAGER NP9870? I'm considering to purchase one.

    I really like it. A friend has the same thing and said he thought the screen brightness was a bit low, but other than that, he's really happy with his too. Definitely recommend it!
    Sent home early as a disciplinary action (missed some end of day reports, fair enough). Don't think I was supposed to be excited about it.
