			I went to the directory <code>/var/log</code> to find a boot log to view boot information. So, from that file, it fsck twice from <code>util-linux-ng 2.17.2</code> then it does memory integrity checks and runs init afterwards. It then does more checking and starts several daemons.
			Lastly, after everything has been set up, the modules begin to start up which finalizes the boot up process. It is also possible to view the boot up process for modules that are installed by typing in a command instead of going into the <code>/var/log</code> directory:

			sudo /etc/init.d/zentyal restart

Although, having a necessary amount of knowledge about networking principles would be required to use Zentyal as well as optimizing the use of the features available.

	It was a bit cumbersome for me to set up a simple instant messaging server and network activity monitoring system because I only had a limited amount of understanding of networking principles ~~as well as I needed~~ to ~~install other components from Ubuntu~~. There are variety of tutorials that can be found on the internet but it would be better to have a good general understanding of how networks or server works~~, even~~ though Zentyal provided a ~~web~~ interface, it is likely that it is not as flexible as configuring settings using a terminal.

	The current release of Zentyal that is installed on my virtual machine is <code>2.2-1</code> released on September 14, 2011. There are a couple of packages that are just a version behind from the stable release because the packages could have updated after the current Zentyal was released. There are also some packages that are really old relative to the stable release version, especially Firefox. Since Zentyal was first released in July 15, 2009 under the name eBox Platform and Zentyal 2.0 is the was first released in September 1, 2010 under its new name. I speculate that since Firefox version 3.6 was also released during that year(January 21, 2010), they developed the interface using that version and stuck to that version ever since and also, Firefox is constantly being updated so it's not exactly very convenient that the developers would always have to constantly keep Firefox updated~~. By the look of the releases in the [http://distrowatch.com/index.php?distribution=zentyal DistroWatch news for Zentyal], it is modified almost every one or two months each year~~.

	Zentyal does not have very many packages installed initially since its primary task is to manage network and servers within a small to medium business as well as a replacement for a windows server. It has the minimum number of packages that makes Zentyal able to boot up and support interfaces to increase the ease in setting up a server and managing networking activities. Metaphorically, it's like a car with its shell, seats, break system and wheels with no addons like air conditioning or CD player.

	The current release of Zentyal that is installed on my virtual machine is <code>2.2-1</code> released on September 14, 2011. There are a couple of packages that are just a version behind from the stable release because the packages could have updated after the current Zentyal was released.
