Definitely! One of the best wiki's around, too. So much so that I've never needed to go on IRC or some archlinux mailing list to get answers.

Nice. I do like Plasma these days, much better than Gnome anyway. But have been enjoying Hyprland as of late. It's minimal and fancy at the same time.

Whatever needs to be done for the greater good. ;)

I've been eyeing up Amazon and Ebay lately looking for a possible replacement for my server, which is currently using a quad core (8 thread) Xeon processor with ddr3 ram. I'm fairly certain I don't want to go with a rack server, but a better tower server than I have is almost twice the price of a rack server with basically the same hardware (looking for somewhere around 2.6-3.0ghz dual Xeons with 20-30 cores total, and ddr4 ram). I only have room by my legs for a tower. I don't want a big ass rack (even if a 6U rack would fit under my desk, it is twice as wide as a tower), and definitely don't want some ugly shit hanging on the wall.

Sigh, nerd life. LOL

Regards,
Nick
