Hello All,
I volunteer for a tiny library that is growing. At this point we're
looking for a way to manage our check-outs/returns some way more efficient

You might be able to run Evergreen as a virtual machine on your windows box
- I would use VirtualBox. Just make sure to have a rigorous backup regimen.

Hi Ben,
This was alluded to but to be clear, Evergreen isn't Windows software.
Evergreen was built to run on Linux and is commonly run on Debian though I
know it's used successfully on other distributions as well. Honestly, as
much as I love to spread the love of Evergreen from what I can infer
Not at all dubious, Rogan. We run Sirsi Symphony as a VM and have been for
years. We pretty much don't run our servers on anything else *but* VM's.
It's just how things are done now. I've run Evergreen in Virtual Box
(totally free) on my PC to play with it and it works just fine. Given a

Hi Mark,
There is a big difference between running a production system on a desktop
VM and playing with it. Running Evergreen in Virtual Box is common for
developers, documenters, etc
And it's important for those who don't have a systems background that a VM
in a server environment and
When you have quad-core PC's with 8gb of ram, the difference is not that
much. I've run production VM's on my PC in a pinch and our staff never
knew.
What do you suggest Ben does?

Ben did say he was decently tech savvy and asked for a way to run Evergreen
on a pc. VirtualBox fits the bill.

We ran everything in VirtualBox for a long time. Is it the PC hardware you
object to? Or just VM's in general.

Regardless of whether it's feasible in a Windows VM environment or not, I
really think that Evergreen is too complicated to set up and maintain for
someone who doesn't have a strong skillset in system administration. A hosted
ILS would be a better option, but a lot of tiny libraries can't
Thank you for all the responses.
Rogan, you inferences are generally correct. I do not have much
experience. I have worked with virtual machines before, and I use Ubuntu
on my personal computer, but I have never really been a sys admin. As for
time, I do not have much time per week, but I have
Ben,
Ouch, I didn't see Surpass's price tag. There's something called ResourceMate
that has a Lite edition for $295, and another called PrimaSoft Small Library
Organizer Pro for $245, both of which are designed for very small libraries to
run on a single machine. Again, I haven't used either,
I'm trying to address the original question. I appreciate that you have
your own perspective but addressing the issue at hand requires looking at
it in context of the person asking the question, not your background and
your resources. Nor mine.
I've made several inferences from his question.
It does still require Linux skills as it's a virtual machine whether he has
that skill set or is willing to invest the time to learn it is a
pre-requisite, something I wouldn't assume from the question.
