That makes sense and is essentially what I was planning to do.

Again makes sense. So my idea of setting up the two sites as two
domains would then be the logical extension of this.

Well.... I already have four book shelves, two four-drawer filing
cabinets, two large desks, work table and about a dozen storage boxes.
Of course lets not forget about the 5 PC waiting to prep, 3-4 that
have been pulled from service but are still functional, another
bunch that I have scavenging for spare parts, actual new spare parts,
tools, a bunch if shipping boxes the are really should break down
and put in the recycling bins. Just think of me as a packrat with
OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder).
The book is here somewhere but I am just not sure where. I guess it
is time for spring cleaning.

I will check those out but what about the ease of use factor. Would
you suggest something like webmin over had tailoring the config files?
TIA
