latestserver
Newlatestserver
My home lab took that personally, how dare
My SSID's are still listed as Testnet and Testnet5 after years. Had to test something at one point, it worked and never cared to go back and update things. 🤷♂️
fixed it for you :) acronyms with full words in the middle of them are not acronyms
You are correct, however 5 is actually short for 5725 ...
I once worked in a company that named theirs servers
server1,server2,server3, etc.That atleast makes them (hopefully) chronological and easy to refer to.
but easy to mix up
Unfortunately no. The servers were set up when needed for whatever was needed. server2 was the AD, server1 had a business application running, server3 had backup and time tracking … it was a whole mess.
Edit: the the memories come back. Nothing was virtualized.
server2was an old Dell tower computer running Windows 2000 on the bare metal andserver1was manually installed Debian with kernel 2.6.*something*.
