I would wholeheartedly agree with that. Do it the easy way, just use
my VM distributions. Upgrading everything is dead simple ("yum
update" on CentOS or "apt-get update; apt-get upgrade" on Ubuntu).
And you know it will work (believe it or not, I do actually test it
occasionally! :-)<br>
<br>
Doing your own home-built server is definitely the hard way to do
it.<br>

Personally,<br>
Since you have been out of the Linux world for awhile, I'd
recommend that you consider starting by using one of Julians
pre-made vm's. That way you would be using a pre-configured vm
that everyone could easily comment on if you need help. Putting
the system into "production" will involve editing a few text
files. But there are a number of folks on the list that can help
you out.<br>
<br>
If you build your system, there will always be a question about
how or what process you used to configure the system, permissions,
how did you compile your packages, etc.<br>
<br>
We use Julian's 64 bit CentOS vm and other than a few custom text
edits requested by our Support team, Zendto is pretty stock and it
just works ( thank you Julian). Files under 2BG have been pretty
much trouble free. If you're going to be sending files over 2GB,
I'd read up on the forum to get up to speed on the issues others
are having. <br>
<br>
Updates for CentOS and Zendto involve just one command ( yum
update) from a command line that can be accessed via ssh or via
the Vmware Host console.<br>
<br>
Just a few points for your consideration. I'm sure that others
can contribute additional thoughts for you to consider.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I?m really interested in the zend.to
application, but i haven?t touched a linux box in over 10
years. We?re a mostly Windows/AD environment. I was able
to get the Virtual Machine installed on our ESX server, and
i started a plain Ubuntu install to get some GUI going to
make patching, editing, and general administration a little
easier considering my Windows background. The problem is
that without a step-by-step, i?m going to have problems.
For instance, with the VM, it took me about 15 minutes to
figure out how to edit a config file. Should i stick with
the VM (will patching be simple?) or should i keep plugging
along on the Ubuntu install?<o:p></o:p></p>
