Just another fckin rant

[Cliphead]

ClientCo commissioned a dedicated server, spent a day getting it all setup prior to them adding a second hard drive. Motherboard died so they setup a new box added the second drive and re-installed the OS so I had to start again.

Then the second hard drive failed.

There goes the weekend.



Would drive you to drink.

Yeah, Apple are known for their servers. Knob.

OK.

The Apple server's knob?

As in "knob-value"?

Hmm, because they use special hard drives? Presumably the kind we were using in 2007?

Well they do make them, but I thought I read that they are ditching that direction in future?

Ditched quietly a long time ago.

So mac's just work? Try supporting them, more issues than Win machines. Mostly down to the ****wits using them who don't think reading a manual is necessary and believe the myth that they just work. How do I install from a CD? How do I uninstall? Logic changed from x.1 to x.2 now none of my plugins work, can't be Logic at fault...

yep x serve is officially dead, only mac mini servers now.

The xserves were pants in an enterprise environment anyway. I came to the conclusion they worked best in small workgroups/design studios/on their own and god forbid if you want to extend the Schema to integrate them with AD...
