Are you running xp home or pro? I am wondering if home edition is good enough....can CFMX run on XP Home? With CFMX having it's own server, it should be easy to get it running on anything, right?

I upgraded it to XP last month and that was a God send. Much better support for laptops especially with power management and display. XP also includes remote desktop and comes with the remote desktop client which will connect to terminal services on Win2k. The gotchas are - it wont run sql server - need the MSDE version, and of course IIS doesn't run on it. I installed Apache 1.3 as the web server instead.

What model is your Sony Kevin? Erika, why win2kServer and not XP? Brian, Gateways are a good choice, I think anchordesk has rated them #1 recently! Thanks everyone for your input! --Josh -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Schmidt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 27, 2002 10:06 AM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: laptop recommendations The only thing statwise different from my Vaio, is I have a little bigger screen 20 gig HD and 512 mb ram, firewire/iee1394 port. I added the ram aftermarket, it's a lot cheaper that way. Love it and would recommend it to anyone! -----Original Message----- From: Erika L.

If you get it on the laptop, scrap it and install Win2KServer. Second: I have an HP Pavilion that I've had to use as my development PC for the past 7 months (because of moving to England and having to wait for my Dell Tower). I only have 256MB RAM on it and the hard drive is only 9 GIG ... But I'm running Win2K Advanced, SQL Enterprise, CF 5 Studio and Server, Office XP (which is just OK) and a host of other graphic programs .... It had built-in 10/100, modem, 14.1 screen, DVD, floppy, infrared, USB, serial port, 2 PCMCIA slots ... The works. It's been a dutiful and perfect workhorse. I've had a few network issues that have been all my fault ... But it's been working very hard for me for a long time ... On all day and all night ... For over 7 months, and never a complaint. The HP series is highly recommended by me.
