I was thinking portability for the same reason as yourself, in that if I want to take a part of my cloud (controller and 1 node) out and about for a demo or to demonstrate at a client site. I was thinking of the aspire revo with a little server box the size of a NAS (eg. Thecus 3200) as they can all run headless. It would be interesting to test if my asus eeepc 900 would run as a controller (am using it to test meercat and lubuntu currently), if the aspire revo is not overly tasked as a controller, then it should be possible on the eeepc 900. > There is a Canonical webinar this Thursday at 12 noon on Ubuntu enterprise > cloud. > > > > I didn't know about that!

If so, hello and nice to talk to you again. I was going to drop you a line when I had the private cloud up and running (waiting for some new hard drives). Regardless I'll do a write up soon and post a link to the list. Thank you. -- John Stevenson Lean Agile Consultant / Coach jr0cket.com | leanagilemachine.com
