Jason, I used CentOS as a base.
CentOS release 4.4 (Final) uname -a Linux 2.6.9-42.0.8.plus.c4 I recommend it if you interested in Linux. -John On 5/18/07, Jason Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
** 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 *From:* Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *John Sundberg *Sent:* Thursday, May 17, 2007 4:59 AM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* Re: Building a Demonstration Laptop ** 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 On 5/17/07, *George Treisbach* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Subject: Building a Demonstration Laptop Any recommendations from the list on what makes up a good demonstration Laptop ??
