Looks pretty slick, I'll give it try when I get home.

I'll go ahead and ask, since I'm probably not the only one thinking it: will there be a MySQL version? ;)

EDIT: oh, and I guess the name wouldn't be very fitting for a MySQL cli...

Copied from the FAQ page:

Probably. Now that I've worked out the hard parts (sqlcompletion and special commands), I'd like to write a CLI for Sqlite and MySql. But I'm not sure if I'll have the time to do it in the immediate future. But if you're interested in doing it, I'd be happy to help you. Please get in touch.

Yes. As it should.

An up-front and prominent disclosure could also color my perception in the author's favor, and I'd be more inclined to give higher credence to author's arguments.

That was the exact same thing I thought after reading the title.

There seems to be a lot of love for these things. It's hard to give up the 4-core xeon and the lower price of the TS140, definitely food for thought. Thanks!

Edit: Based on the reviews, it looks like it has previously been on sale for as little as $229 after rebates, which would make it a much easier choice than the current $399.

Thanks! I've seen a few comments that also mention the Proliants, people seem pretty satisfied with them. And it might not be too slow, my current Plex server is my 2010 MacBook Pro.

Thanks, but I was hoping to get a feel for what HN crowd might be using, to see if there are some systems that keep coming up.

Unfortunately, the RAM on the new models is soldered on. Someone above said the drive is soldered, too, but I can't confirm that.

You are correct, that news trickled out after I wrote my comment :-/

I wouldn't assume that at all. They say "a list of the applications and programs", not "program listing...". In this case, it reads to me as just that, a list, such as Word xx.xx, Outlook xx.xx, girlfriend 2.0, ms-dos 5.5, etc.

That's what I meant (see the second sentence). The first sentence of my post was, however, originally missing a "not" (now added), so I see the confusion.

That should be "--only-upgrade", but ya, that's what I did.

Perhaps "confounding". That sounds right to me.
