Looking for a mentor/adviser

[Stephen]

I don't mind working with you on this. however my current job has me
very busy (fun but crazy right now) and the reason i suggest a Virtual
host of some sort is you can make a private network and save a copy of
it and break it as many times as you need to get it right. and later
on it works very well for new servers to share hardware AND for
backup/restore but thats a whole separate but interesting
conversation.
