After reading my “Installing Exchange 2010 SP1 on a Windows 2008 R2 – A typical installation” post, @nzaharioudakis responded:
Got lost already. #Zimbra would end up in 40-50 min including a fresh OS install. Thnx 4 noticing
I asked Nikos whether he could write up a similar Zimbra guide. And so he did!
– How to install Zimbra with Operating System in less than an hour ..
Thank you Nikos.
The complexity of Exchange makes even the typical setup a long (and laborious if done for the first time) task. But with a little bit of help from “Exchange 2010 – A practical approach” (thank you XLA for this), a bit of guesswork and the installer of Exchange itself these are the steps that worked for me:
Thanks to Catastrophic Failure, for a set of notes that I’ve kept from a course she’s given on the subject reduced my installation time.
If you have any questions / suggestions that will help refine this document, please do so in the comments.
An alternate take:
Due to an 8007EE2 windows update error, I performed the following steps:
… θα βρεις έναν Έλληνα. Ο Δημήτρης Στάικος, φίλος από τα παλιά, ένα έτος μεγαλύτερος και hacker extraordinaire, αντιπρόεδρος του 1394 Trade Association (Firewire για όποιον δεν τα πάει καλά με τα νούμερα).
Because it can be memorized and works reasonably well:
unsigned long
hash(unsigned char *str)
{
unsigned long hash = 5381;
int c;
while (c = *str++)
hash = ((hash << 5) + hash) + c; /* hash * 33 + c */
return hash;
}
All one needs to remember is a single line and a number. For years SuperFastHash had been my first choice but the Non-Cryptographic Hash Function Zoo analysis changed this.

From alpine‘s alpine-2.00/alpine/mailcmd.c:
switch(r = is_writable_dir(dir)){
case 0: /* exists and is a writable dir */
/*
* We could figure out if it is empty and use it in
* that case, but that sounds like a lot of work, so
* just fall through to default.
*/
default:
:
case 3: /* doesn't exist, that's good! */

I heard about the book thanks to a post written by @nikan. I read the HTML version of it on my BeBook Mini. What follows are a few thoughts on the book (in no particular order):
While the subtitle of the book reads:
True Confessions of a New Media Whore
It could easily (and more fittingly) read:
“Οὐκ ἐᾷ με καθεύδειν· τὸ τοῦ Μιλτιάδου τρόπαιον”
According to the narrative, Carr spends a lot of his time in Entrepreneur networking events together with very (financially) successful (and famous in certain circles) people:
“I’ve been around the people in this room for my entire working life, and count many of them among my good friends. I’ve written about them in newspapers, and I’ve published their books. I go to their parties, and share their successes and failures. But I’m not one of them . And that’s fine by me.”
(Big personal parenthesis: The above paragraph could easily describe my experience with the Greek Database Mafia. I am a friend of most of them, but not one of them. And that is fine by me too.)
Only it really was not fine by the author. And with “If them, then why not me?” at hand, he proceeds on discussing about his successes and failures (including some personal ones) using sharp British humor, which is kind of helpful when one reads the book on the bus returning home after work. Other than that the book contains useful instructions on how not to kill your angel investor by Power Point and a basic element for success:
– Have a fucking brilliant idea
Ultimately, Paul Carr failed in his quest for while he was committed to the jet-set lifestyle of the entrepreneurs he spent time drinking with, he was not committed to hard work the same way they did. An interesting story, but nothing more.
This is not a comeback. Yet.

Το HOUMF! Con version 0.0 διεξήχθη το Σάββατο 6 Ιανουαρίου 2001 στο Αμφιθέατρο Πληροφορικής στην Πολυτεχνειούπολη Ζωγράφου (Εθνικό Μετσόβειο Πολυτεχνείο). Υπολογίζεται ότι περίπου 150 άτομα συγκεντρώθηκαν εκεί και εξέφρασαν τη βούλησή τους να δοθεί συνέχεια…
Το HOUMF! Con version 0.0 εστίασε την προσοχή του στη συνάθροιση ανθρώπων με κάτι-παραπάνω-από-απλές γνώσεις πληροφορικής και με ενδιαφέροντα στους τομείς ασφάλειας δικτύων/ υπολογιστών και προχωρημένων τεχνικών προγραμματισμού. Βασικός σκοπός ήταν να γνωριστούμε μεταξύ μας καλύτερα και να θέσουμε τις βάσεις για περαιτέρω συνεννόηση και συνεργασία.
Η συνάθροιση αυτή ήταν κρίσιμης σημασίας, καθώς θα έθετε τις βάσεις για τη διοργάνωση ενός πλήρους Con. Τόσο το μικρό χρονικό διάστημα για τη διοργάνωση όσο και η δύσκολα προβλέψιμη ανταπόκριση που θα είχε, κατέστησε το version 0.0 κάτι σαν demo version, ενδεικτικό για τις μελλοντικές προοπτικές.
Η διοργάνωση του version 0.0 ήταν ιδιαίτερα επίπονη, αλλά και διδακτική, καθώς αποτελεί χρήσιμη εμπειρία και παρακαταθήκη για τη διοργάνωση ενός πλήρους HOUMF! Con.
Οι διοργανωτές (aka HOUMFers – houmfers@houmf.org) ήταν (με αλφαβητική σειρά): Budha, databus, DiJ, N3tKick3r, night, Prowler, w0lverine. Τη διοργάνωση υποστήριξαν το HACK.gr και το #/dev/urandom.
It was fun after all…
