Hi Shamil: I may then need you help from time to time. As of yesterday, after a year of saving and gather parts I have a new server. I am still deciding what is the best OS to install. Debian Linux of course but I am deciding whether a fat or thin client would be the best option and then which one...and then ZFS might be an excellent file server option(?)...It will be a careful performance balancing act. The new box, is a 64bit, on a respectable Asus Z87-K motherboard with all the standard built-ins (video, dual network cards, 8 USB, sound etc...), one 8GB RAM chip, with room for 3 more SIMMs, if required, Intel CPU core i5 (supposed to be better than the i7 as very few application can handle even 4 cores.(?)), one 250GB Samsung SSD (850 pro with a ten year warranty), one 4TB hard drive with another four slots, in which to grow as need requires and a 500W whisper quiet fan. I have already planned to install openCloud, a dual running CoreOS virtual drive and a selection of development tools...Like Juju and maybe Apache for more tradition websites. This new MEAN stack looks like a great start as it will probably be a while until Microsoft releases a stable .Net IDE and maybe for websites, it might be much better to just learn NodeJS (JavaScript) like you are doing. But of course these plans could change at any moment...there is just so many choices available. :-) Thanks for all the links...they should keep be out of trouble for a while.

But I'm currently reading an Amazon Kindle book "NodeJS the right way" ( http://www.amazon.com/Node-js-Right-Way-Server-Side-JavaScript/dp/1937785734 ) - I have it on Kindle Cloud, Kindle Reader device, on Kindle PC and Kindle WinPhone - so I"m getting through it bit by bit when I have a chance to read it on one of my devices keeping this book :) This book is well written IMO and its sample also uses MEAN stack. BTW, have you read the following quite different pro- and contra- articles and comments on NodeJS? : https://www.semitwist.com/mirror/node-js-is-cancer.html http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/2jdnsb/nodejs_is_cancer/ http://www.uberbrady.com/2011/10/nodejs-is-not-cancer-you-are-just-moron.html I'm wondering, if I will have a NodeJS based Web Service, which will take, say, 100 ms in total to process (with a few I/O interruptions while it's executed on NodeJS server side) a web request, and web requests will come from client apps in one second intervals then 20 clients will put such a web service down - I mean this web service will not be able to process one client request per second - how to scale such a web service? Would it be correct (for starters) to have a "front-end" nodeJS web service, which will delegate real processing to workers nodeJS local web services? Also would and how CoreOS and Docker could help in this my naive scalability scheme? http://netloid.com/technology/why-coreos-and-docker-what-you-need-to-know http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18285212/how-to-scale-docker-containers-in-production http://www.seenickcode.com/neo4j-docker-coreos-a-gentle-guided-introduction/ Would Quay.io help to import on demand and activate ready to use CoreOS/Docker/MEAN vm/container/application instances? https://coreos.com/blog/CoreOS-enterprise-docker-registry/ FYI: I could be wrong with my current expectations to orchestrate/scale on demand CoreOS/Docker/MEAN stack - I'm still having just a superficial understanding on how all that stuff can work together....
