Honestly? I'm running on a 400 MHZ celeron processor. 120GB HD, with an 8GB storage drive (its fat32). I have 1GB ram. My 12 years as a Computer Tech has taught me that for the most part ram is usually more important that processor cycles, although they're nice too.
I have the following setup. Redhat 7.3 as my "host" operating system. I do most of my day to day stuff there. I have the following VMware "guest" systems setup. 1 win2k server. This is running sql server 2k. (it has a 4gb virutal drive and it gets 256mb ram allocated) 1 win2k server. This is running apache and cf5 (it also has a 4gb virtual drive and 256mb ram allocated) 1 win2k pro. This is my development "box" its got a 12gb virtual drive and 128mb ram, its the one I develop everything on, and deploy to the others. 1 win98se partition, 4gb virtual hd and 64mb ram, just for testing with older browsers. 1 win95 virtual machine, simular to the win98 for the same reasons. I use sendmail that comes with redhat for an email server, and bind to handle dns, its also doubling as a caching name server which will walk its way to any server I'm looking for, I don't use the one that comes with my isp. While I would certainly like a faster processor (and if I could maybe another gb of ram, but everything runs smoothly, and it mimicks a real life network from a single box. If I connected to sombody else lan, and had each virtual machine running, everybody would see 4 seperate computers come up when I logged on. I had recently upgraded to RH 8, and while its certainly prettier, I frequently ran into kernel panic (everything locks up, etc, etc) when running my virtual machines, so had to roll the whole thing back. One other thing I use is gnu rcs for version control, it runs in linux, I interface with it on my dev VM using CS-RCS, which plugs into studio nicely. CVS could be used as well. I can run all five virtual machines without any problems. The only real issue I've had was with my buslink usb drive that I used to take things back and fourth to work with, I couldn't get it to passthrough to the windows VMs without it freaking the whole system out, I did eventually find someone who'd made linux drivers for it and all is good now. I wouldn't change a thing. Fred On Friday 06 December 2002 04:17 pm, you wrote: > Just curious Fred how much ram is oodles and oodles of ram? What speed > processors?
