Just to repost as the actual message got denied for being too large due

Well back to MS SQL migration for me now.......

Hi Doug,

thanks so much for the response and warm words of welcome :-)

I'm enjoying BSD thoroughly and find it actually much better then Linux!!

Actually it's kinda weird but I feel like showing off all my
achievements in terms of my two servers but when I think about it and
think about what you guys are doing with 500+ systems in clouds and
clusters I am completely no where although it's my ambition to get there
one day!



So quickly in response to your reply:

Thank you so much for making me feel welcome :-D

Yeah. I know this and as stated before I have 2 installs of Torrentflux:
one which resides in /usr/local/www/data/tf and the other which resides
in /opt which is a backup of my Linux instance.

Just for the record am being cheeky and using the Linux version :-P

This is really great advice thank you for it!!

Thank you so much and I totally agree! I mean when I started with
Solaris just over a year ago I made the mistake of treating it like
Linux when it's a totally separate OS like BSD. Thankfully I've learned
from my mistake and am trying to treat BSD like BSD this time which is
proving ok for the moment as I've just managed to aggregate 3 Solaris 9
SPARC boxes and one Linux box into a single BSD box, which is the NAS
server in the pictures. Just a few hoops which needed adjusting though
but to tell you the truth being on a heavily truncated time table flying
out to the UK and having to build the systems from scratch and not
having enough time to continue actually left me having to configure the
rest over SSH from Turkey which for a learning curve I think is quite
appropriate.

Well.... anyway enough with me going on about the small time stuff I'm
doing as everyone's got better stuff to do then read my waffling :-)
