Convert Old PC into Dedicated DVD Player

Had to do this at work and figured I’d share my notes here. Any usefulness these computers can get after their expected life is less money wasted.


Notes: Setting Up Postfix on Windows

(Notes primarily for my own reference.)


Notes: Migrate Debian Linode to Proxmox
