Now come on Andy, where is the fun in that!!

The whole point is to learn as we go by asking questions and seeing what you
can learn for yourself.
Jonathan is not using a production server as he has just picked it up off
ebay, the worst that can happen is that he has to do an OS restore and start
again, I have been there myself and eventually had to feed in the little
spinning disc of salvation when things have got too screwed up.

Personally I keep test servers which I play around with all the time to try
things out before they get anywhere near a live server, this has saved my
bacon on numerous occasions and means playing around is not dangerous at
all.

Seek the knowledge of the wise ones and a Jedi you will make!!
