So I had an old PC laying in the closet that I haven't touched in probably 2 to 3 years and decided to turn it into a new toy for the house. In today's post, I will go over installing Ubuntu on our old desktop, configuring it as a network drive, configuring Remote Desktop, and talk about the things I want to do with this.
Many of the entities that I have created by nature have composite IDs. The composite primary key design of RosterEntry could be a little tricky because you need to decide which field provides uniquenes to the instance, i.e. is it lineupSlotId (and Team) or is it playerId (and Team).
