   True. It wasn't a budget strain, it was just the closest conversation I could   
   jump into that would be on topic. ;)

   I'm fairly certain I'll be ditching both Rpi3's in the near future. I just got   
   the winning bid (the only bid!) on ebay for an HP Proliant ML310e Gen8 server,   
   3.3ghz Xeon quad core processor, 32gb ram, 2x1TB hd's in raid 1, onboard raid   
   controller, iLO, all the bells and whistles. I was actually surprised it came   
   with Windows Server 2012 R2 activated, but I wiped it anyways.. cuz it's   
   Windows. ;)   
      
   Been tinkering for the past few days. I've never messed with a server before,   
   so I've gone through a LOT of trial and error (mostly error). But I'm getting   
   more comfortable with it, and am now testing out VMWare ESXi as well as   
   Proxmox (currently). There will be many virtualizations in my future. ;)   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
