在webhostingtalk上看到webnx 有一款机器在on sale，配置相当不错，而我又是webnx 的超级粉，立马拿下替换了原来旧的机器，新机器的配置如下:
Intel Xeon E3-1275v5 quadcore 3.6ghz 64gb ddr4 ECC ram 1TB Enterprise SSD /29 5x usable ip's 30Tb over 1gbps $65 ** limited time until we burn up the stock on hand!
实话实说，这个机器还是非常有新引力的，再加上webnx 100%的SLA 和 super connected network， 真的是非常爽的价格.
我准备用它来做ESXi 新的vCSA 主控.
在deploy ESXi之前，先来测试一下这台机器的硬件和network.
现在大部分的美国服务商都是使用的supermicro 的服务器，supermicro 一般都自带IPMI.
但是在使用Intel 的E3 CPU 的时候，确会出现这样那样的问题。
总体来说，对于E3 的CPU，supermicro 有两个系列， X10 和 X11，分别专门应该E3-V3,v4 和E3-V5，V6的CPU，问题也由此而来
国外网站关于此问题的讨论:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/353896/linux-install-goes-to-blank-screen
supermicro 官方给的解决方案:
https://www.supermicro.org.cn/support/faqs/faq.cfm?faq=30162
Fedora 也遇到了这样的问题:

以下CloudFlare节点IP资料由HaoLan网友收集，仅供参考，这不是Anycast IP，是CloudFlare的节点IP，能不能指定节点还不清楚，可以在接入CF partner之后a记录以上IP试试。有网友说IP的80端口没开，大家可以当做CF测试IP。注意:每个C段不要用0结尾，用1
Debian 9 和 10 的内核自带了google 开发的 BBR 拥塞算法，我们可以很方便的开启BBR 进行访问加速
开启方法:
echo "net.core.default_qdisc=fq" >> /etc/sysctl.conf echo "net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=bbr" >> /etc/sysctl.conf sysctl -p
如果执行之后没有报错，重启一下系统就可以让配置生效.
重启之后，执行如下命令查看内核是否已开启BBR:
sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_available_congestion_control
显示以下即已开启:
root@localhost:~# sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_available_congestion_control
net.ipv4.tcp_available_congestion_control = bbr cubic reno
查看BBR是否启动:
lsmod | grep bbr
显示以下即启动成功:
root@localhost:~# lsmod | grep bbr tcp_bbr 16384 14
outlook中的邮件(除了pop3)都存储在OST文件中，如果你的C盘不够大的话，建议还是放在其他的SSD盘(pop3邮件一般存储在pst文件中)
outlook 的OST文件默认位置是C盘，如果想修改成其他的位置，google了一上午，发现最简单和便捷的办法就是修改注册表. 其他类似于修改profile 的方式太麻烦了
1 彻底关闭outlook 365 或者2016，同时保证OST 文件没有被其他的程序使用.
2 打开注册表，可以在run中输入regedit
3 打开路径: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook, 在右边空白处右击，选择New -> Expandable String Value
4 键名写”ForceOSTPath”, 然后双击这个键，在”Edit String” 中，填写你想要的 文件路径，然后点击“OK”
5 关闭注册表，然后重启电脑即可.
英文版参见: https://www.isumsoft.com/it/change-data-file-pst-ost-location-in-outlook-2016/
Sept 2019 Updated: 我发现添加ForceOSTPath的办法只能应用于exchange/hotmail/outlook/msn的邮箱，对于IMAP 的邮箱不起任何作用。搜索了半天发现了下面两篇文章:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/f8cf7ce8-ca4c-4619-be32-f9f1a4ffa5fe/forceostpath-not-fully-working-bug-office-2016?forum=outlook
原来从Outlook 2013年开始， IMAP 和 EAS *.ost 使用的是ForcePSTPath, 而不是ForceOSTPath，尽管data file 是以.ost 结尾的！！！
这个需要注意!
Feb 2025 Update: 如果你的classic outlook要更改存储文件的位置，那么ForceOSTPath 和 ForcePSTPath 都是需要添加的
大家一般都喜欢在工作中部署LTSC 2019，简洁，稳定！
