Ola, can you detail specifically what kind of help you are looking for? I can donate a spare license for Windows XP Professional to the project.
I also have a small 4-node server cluster running on the public Internet right now, equipped with VMWare server. Can you detail the performance requirements for the CI server? My servers are two generations behind and not the fastest, but I may be able to help with either a CI user account on a Windows 2003 server VM, or an additional VM if you need a full installation. - How much CPU power does CI need? (time and frequency of build) - Would 386 MB RAM be enough? - Do you need admin access? MSSQL may also be a possibility too. I may have an academic license that is still valid for use after school (need to check on this; in any case, I think there is a free "express edition" of MSSQL). Time and knowledge is what I lack, so I may not be able to help set up the operation, but I am happy to hand the authentication access to any able body. If there is something that I can be of assistance, let me know.

I recommend rimuhosting.com, they have great support. VMWare is we do for our internal CI. It works good, if a bit slow and flaky sometimes, but this is mostly with IE-based selenium tests, and we are running an old free beta of vmware server too. -- Chad On 5/2/07, Ola Bini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > As you all know, we have been running Bamboo as a CI for a few months. > It's a great help and is really wonderful in giving us opportunity to > flaunt our mistakes to the world. > > That said, it doesn't catch enough.
