I've been thrust into helping a startup library setup their entire computer 
system.
As an IT professional I am pretty well rounded with Computer systems, but I am 
lacking Unbuntu knowledge, etc.
I have acquired a really good server to use, that I believe is overkill for 
just running unbuntu and ever green.

8gig RAM
Duo 3.5 ghz processors
5 80gig hard drives in Raid 5

Anyway, I'm a windows server guy and was wondering if Unbuntu and evergreen 
would run on Microsoft Virtual machine if I configure it for windows server 
2003.  If someone has this setup are there any issues you encountered from the 
initial setup or later.


Evergreen questions

The library was donated 80,000 items from another library.

Can you import a record set like an excel file to populate the database?  
How well would evergreen run that amount of records?

Does anyone have additional documentation on unbuntu and evergreen setup 
suitable for someone touching unbuntu for only the second day.

Thanks in advance.
