Hi Darragh,
I should be able to submit something over the next few days. It's been plate spinning in work and I've been busted when I get home. I haven't forgot though that I said I'd put bits up.
Barry.

Bary,
Regarding www.blindsysadmins.com , would you be willing to submit some documents to this?
That damn site still keeps letting user registration spam through. There are tens of thousands of spam accounts created but not approved.
When I have a few hours to spend looking at I'll try fixing it again
however the past few attempts have not been at all successfull. I'm
really hating Drupal 7.

Hi Micahel,
Welcome to the list. I've recently started work after looking for
permanent employment for around 3yrs. I graduated from university just
when the world's economy fell apart. My title is an IT Assistant but to
be honest I do much more than this would suggest. I'm heading up our
Mobile Device Management infrastructure, I work with Active Directory, I
selected our Helpdesk solution and am assisting another Tech to
implement this and eventually train end-users on it. I'm in a Housing
association who's IT has been neglected due to lack of staffing for many
years. It's strange it's almost like being back in the 80's but in
2013. Where someone would say, here's a computer, here's a manual, make
it work. Requirements? We don't' need no stinking requirements!
I started in computing back in 1989 with a Spectrum ZX+2 and the BASIC
computer language. I've a couple of Degrees in Computer Science and am
Microsoft Certified for Windows7. I've broken my fair share of home
networking and to be honest it's one of the best places to learn. It
wont' give you references you can give to potential employers but you
won't be shown the door as often because you can be somewhat ahead of
the game by messing around at home. You could do worse than look at
www.blindsysadminc.om
http://www.bcab.org.uk
http://www.cucat.org
The last one offers Linux classes geared for Blinks. They wont' give
you a cert in of themselves but the lecturers are extremely
knowledgeable.
As someone else has said you do need to put a great deal of
experimenting in, but having been in work now only 5 months I am often
surprised at how much technical knowledge and practical experience I
have compared to people who have been in employment 10+ years.
Barry

Thanks for the warm welcome.
Andrew, after some thought, I guess the second PFSense box would be
better served by being a regular install of Linux. I could probably get
away with not using anything like PFSense on the first machine either,
but it will make setting up the firewall, router etc easier. While I am
about learning new stuff, I also like easy.
I guess I was not aware that Windows Server had a media option for
streaming. Does it transcode in to the different formats for different
devices though? Of course I am sure it will cost more money over using
CentOS and Plex. Either way, it will need to be a pretty stout machine.
Scott, I would like to have my own web hosting company, but I would want
to get started with my own servers and such first. I do already have a
domain.
I was thinking of doing one of those reseller accounts of another host
before, but after some thought I didn't care for doing it that way. I am
not sure what my upload speed are from my house right now, they have
been doing some upgrading around here lately.
I am sure at first I will be asking lots of questions, but I hope after
a while I would be able to answer questions.
The first thing I guess would be figuring out how to install different
flavors of Linux without eyes. I want to play with a few before making
a final decision, and buying components to build systems for what I
want.
Michael
