an

awesome

all-in-one

solution.

', '

Not

does

', '

it

', '

run

', '

our

great

', '

also

', '

comes

', '

with

', '

a

', '

full

', '

Server.

', '

This

', '

isn’t

', '

a

stripped-down

', '

version

', '

of

', '

the

', '

server,

', '

it’s

', '

the

', '

real

deal!

', '

You

can

the

Getting

', '

Generally

', '

speaking,

', '

you

', '

don’t

', '

need

', '

to

', '

do

', '

anything

', '

to

', '

get

', '

ready.

', '

The

', '

only

', '

exception

', '

is

', '

if

', '

you

', '

plan

', '

to

', '

store

', '

your

', '

content

', '

on

', '

the

have

', '

to

', '

find

', '

during

', '

the

', '

In

', '

that

you’ll

If

', '

you

the

', '

first

', '

time

', '

you

', '

enable

', '

the

not.

', '

Assuming

', '

you

', '

chose
