Server Build Part 1: XenServer - chrisdantes.com
I've decided to document the trials, tribulations, and a word that starts with "T" that means "I seriously contemplate suicide because this won't do the thing I want it to do". Let's go with t...fuckingkillme. I'm going to break this down into sections, as each will have a different goal and solution. Keep in mind two things. One, I have no actual training in computers. All I know, I know from a wicked crazy amount of Googling, and flat out clicking things to see what happens. A lot of my struggle has simply been because I have no clue what I'm doing. Second, I'm doing this on a real, full fledged, grown up rack mount server. That is not a requirement. In fact, I would argue, that for what I'm trying to do, a regular computer would be easier, quieter, and less expensive. But I've done that before, and wanted to try something new. Plus I can't have children, so I've got money to spend on silly stuff like this. These instructions should still work on a regular desktop computer.
