Learning is good, right?

Learning is good, right?

Working on replacing our Debian based mail/file/web server with Apple Server 10.5.

Part of the reason for doing so is to learn new things... Have installed it twice so far, and at least another one to go. Another reason is to lower power consumption.... will be running it on a Mac Mini :-)

Gotta work out Kerberos, which most likely means I can't be so laissez-faire about our DNS setup. Which may, in turn mean that we might want more static IP addresses, which means more on-going $$$$ to the ISP. So trying to work out a way to avoid that without having a partly borked setup, and without painting myself into some corner.

As part of the project I'm also replacing the router/firewall with pfsense.

Because one might as well replace 100% of one's IT infrastructure as 10%, right?

A geek Sunday.... reading manuals.
