Hi.. I'm looking to rebuild our CAS servers as well. I found this thread when looking through my mailing list folder. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and would prefer to stick with the available packages as much as possible. We're using the latest CAS 3.4 release, but I would like to upgrade to CAS 3.5.1 with these new servers. I imagine Tomcat7 would work fine.
The big question I have is regarding Java.. Does OpenJDK 1.7 play nice? There are packages for OpenJDK in Ubuntu, not Oracle JDK. It would be definitely be more convenient to use the OpenJDK package. Does anyone have experience or tested that?
