Wanted to say thanks.

Wanted to say thanks for a good work on the distro.. Though I had to install it a very funny way due to video issues (NVidia GeForce 1070). That issue was likely due to display freezing up on boot. So to get around it I had to pass through the hard drive that I was going to install to in a vmware Virtual Machine (While in Windows) and installed it.. Once installed, I had to get the nvidia drivers into the install while it was virtualized. Removed the Windows Hard Drive and put the Kubuntu Hard Drive in its place. .. After that booted up like a champ. And in case of info on the system is wanted..

Hi jhorsman

Well...thank you! a VERY NICE FIRST POST!!

that is INDEED ... "valuable information"...it is what USED TO BE POSTED by the people who are now the old groaners back in the ...exciting days...of Linux / Ubuntu... and now...

the "sophisticated" think of it as...well...we've seen such before...

NO!! NO!! that kind of hardware stuff IS VALUABLE... especially to old doofs like the woodsmoker!

Please do not be a stranger to the forum that is "better than toast with premium jam"!

wood... really...smoke

Do I see your HDD as 10TB?

Do I see your HDD as 10TB?

That is total disk space is around there that is directly attached (Not all one disk). I am still working on bringing the drives online and migrating data over and mapping in NFS. Purpose of this box is for Virtual Machines .. On the scale of entire networks/HA Systems so they can be designed and documented. I chose Kubuntu due to its increased feature set and lower memory foot print. Tried ESXi and whatnot on it and while it works, does not work the way I need it to work (A very HCL OS.). So I am regaining control of my hardware and getting it to work the way I feel is better for the hardware.. From there I can do nested virtualization and get the job done.

Wow! You dropped a grand on that sdd drive!

How's it working?

Works pretty good. handles plenty of Virtual Machines.. Drive paid for itself a while back when I had to Design/Implement a monitoring system for a mobile device management infrastructure. So it had at one time, Oracle DB on it and its front end server. Then as well had Domain Controllers, Exchange Servers, SQL Servers in HA and the App Servers that did MDM work, all running and with load. Did not have a problem out of it.

Impressive!
