John, 

 

What flavor of Linux. I am running Win2k in my VM but have been thinking
about building a Linux VM to replace it (my servers are all Windows and this
will give me my *nix fix). I just haven't decided on which flavor yet.

 

George,

 

I do mostly development in mine and not demos but I have happy with the
performance.

 

Dell Latitude D620, XP Pro, 2.16 GHz Dual Core, 2 gig of ram (the VM gets 1
gig of ram)

ARS 7.0.01 p001

ITSM 6

MS SQL 2000 SP4

I think it depends what you are demoing.

I avg about 2-3 demos/day of Kinetic Request.

My environment:
Dell Laptop (1 year old) - 1GB memory - Windows XP (Remedy UT 7.0, IE 6) +
VMWare Player
My Remedy: 
VM
Linux
Oracle 10 Unicode
ARS 7
Mid-Tier
Kinetic Request web engine
Configured to use 534MB
I also have a 200MB swapfile configured on linux -- it uses about 100MB -
but then stays at that.
(I do not have any ITSM apps installed on my demo environment -- our apps
run against the bare ARS -- and therefore I do not need the ITSM on my demo
box) 
Runs great.

Licensing:
Linux - free
Oracle 10i APEX - free (has restrictions -- but I easily fall under them)
ARS -- I have < 2000 records or so in forms -- so I have been using a demo
license


I start up the VM - then minimize it -- then I use the host OS and connect
to the VM with the WUT/IE. (I have always found this technique better than
having the WUT installed in the VM - then running the VM full screen -- that
technique always seemed slower to me. -- also if I chose that -- then I
could not use Linux as the VM to host the Remedy server etc... I think I can
use Linux in 534MB with Oracle, AR7, etc... because the Linux config is
lightweight. 

Care for a demo of Kinetic Request? if so - email me.

Oh - and my other demo machine - is a Macbook Pro - 2GB with VMWare Fusion.
I sometimes demo Kinetic Request being used from Macintosh Safari. (Our apps
do not use Mid-Tier -- so we work with a wider range of browsers) 
So - same VM config as above -- however I do not use WUT at all -- just our
apps in the demo.

Really - if you are interested - I would love to demo to ARSListers. :)

-John
