Here's my test setup: 1 AthlonXP 2000+ (that's right, no cluster, both the Executor and Manager are running on one machine) running Windows XP SP2. All my other machines run Linux, and this has kept configuration costs to a minimum, I think. I'm using the non-service versions of the Manager and Executor. If I have time, I might see about running Alchemi under Mono on my other boxes, but we'll have to see. I did have some setup troubles when I first installed Alchemi. I grabbed the 1.0.6 packages, but couldn't find a 1.0.6 SDK, so I tried to use the 1.0.5 SDK with the 1.0.6 install and had trouble making the two talk. I eventually switched everything to 1.0.5. I also had trouble running the Manager on the default port of 9000. Clients, including the console packaged with the SDK, simply couldn't connect until I put the manager on port 10000. I haven't yet tried 1.0.6 with a port of 10000, so that might have actually been the source of the problem I mentioned above. I'm using the in-memory backend to keep configuration and dependency issues to a minimum. > (There have been a number of problems with installation and > configuration, specifically with 1.0.6, which we're looking at fixing > in a future 1.1 release, so I'm wondering what your impressions have > been so far) Aside from the issues I had above, I did have an a little trouble tracking down log4net and loading it in to VisStudio. I may have messed something up and deleted it, but it seems like the SDK might as well redistribute the log4net dll, if that's legally possible. I'm very new to .NET (I've only written a few HelloWorld-ish programs with Mono), and this is my first experience with Visual Studio (I'm using the 2005 edition), so bear with me of I appear a little ignorant of the customs of C# and .NET. I am a 11-year Java veteran, so I probably know enough to shoot myself in the foot with C# :-) > Jonathan > > On 2/26/07, Michael R.
