Hey Teacher

At this point in my preparations It appears to me that the Final instructions are about ninety-five percent of our checklist, needing perhaps some footnotes, flags and a post-it or two. Is this a stupid opinion??

Hey Patrick,

Its up to you but it has to be something you can turn in. For a lot of steps I ask you to do a lot of things but never say how. You will need to research the right commands, options, configuration files, operations, vmware settings, etc. to end up deploying a working server to spec that can publish a web page.

One strategy would be to start with the prep list I gave you and do some dry runs for practice. Each time through I'd mark up the list with the specific commands or operations that were problematic. I also recommend having checklist items just to verify you set everything up correctly to specs.
