Hey! Found you! hehe.. I was trolling the linked in site and saw that you had your blog link advertised.. so.. here I am.. :)

I ran a home server for years on a dedicated dual processor linux machine but in the end I gave up and ended up going with DreamHost for my server needs for a very little cost.. In anycase.. just dropping a line here to say "HI" :)

Hey Mike! Long time no see. It is good to see fellow friends being able to get to my blog. =)

I'm all for using freewares! Besides, this was about giving guidance to people who want to utilize what they already have. So, tech savvy people can use it as a reference if they would like. =D
