      With certain Sharepoint licenses, OneNote will turn into a website too. That is how we use OneNote with our SharePoint Enterprise via Office 365. We can use the OneNote app, the OneNote web app or the wiki in Sharepoint all for different effects.

      I think getting used to how to use a wiki is the easiest answer. That's what pretty much the entire industry does today. Sharepoint, to the best of my knowledge, has the most robust editing facilities but also the most problematic for posting code. MediaWiki is better but with a little more effort.

      Here is my eldest daughter playing with bath toys in a bidet in Piemonte, Italy. Some Norwegian friends of ours set this up for her so that she could play 🙂

      Yes, the US is archaic in its comfort room facilities 😉

      Yeah, at this point you are the community's first person outside of the US, Canada and UK! Hopefully we will have a more and more international membership soon.

    • RE: ESXi Host Server - HDD Configuration

      IOPS are the biggest concern really. But without anything like a database which really needs them, RAID 6 might be more than enough. Exchange wouldn't be a big concern as it is not IOPS heavy. RAID 10 is far better tuned for heavy writes, but if reads are the vast majority, RAID 6 will keep right up.

    • RE: ESXi Host Server - HDD Configuration

      RAID 6 will deliver a lot more capacity, RAID 10 a lot more performance and some additional reliability. With those expensive 10K SAS drives, I'd guess that you'd not want to give up too much performance to parity overhead, especially if 15K drives were being kicked around as an idea. But, as a general sense, RAID 6 will work fine but typically (but not always) if going for RAID 6 it would also make sense to use NL-SAS drives which cost less. RAID 6 would never be used with 15K drives for practical reasons. It can make monetary sense with 10K but is not the most obvious choice. With NL-SAS, RAID 6 can really hit its stride for reliable large capacity, affordable systems.

      @Joyfano said:

      @scottalanmiller yes it is. I don't know where we got that word

      It's English, actually. Just really rare. It is late-middle English and a word not used here but must have been retained there: late Middle English: from Old French viande ‘food,’ from an alteration of Latin vivenda, neuter plural gerundive of vivere ‘to live.’

      @ajstringham I can see that working. I like that angle. I look forward to seeing how we can do searches so I don't have to post and miss the answer.

      Yeah, that's the biggest challenge right now.

      @Joyfano Do you have air conditioning? I'm guessing no...if you have a server room with AC, move your desk in there! 😉

      We also have fluorescent = meaning lighting fixture that uses a fluorescent lamp.

      We use that in the US as well.

    • RE: Datamation: Why XFCE Beats KDE and Gnome

      @ajstringham I don't know, having used all three plus Cinnamon and some others, XFCE comes out dramatically on top of Gnome in my book. Better interface, lighter, more intuitive. I don't know many aspects of Gnome that I would consider on par with it anymore.
