Re: [PLUG] [VMware on Ubuntu] Thank you + iron

["Brent Saner" <brent.saner@gmail.com>]

as far as hardware, it seems your processor and ram aren't to blame... do some stress tests to make sure you don't have faulty hardware.

what it could be is your I/O... are you using RAID, sata?

To the folks who posted helpful suggestions, thank you very much.  You
can't get info like this anywhere else.

To the folks who added to my somewhat skewed sense of humor, I am highly
offended.  Highly offended that the clever people here didn't take it
even further.

No, what I meant was I laughed.

No, wait...  wrong thing.

I am offended over the constant talk about video recorders and
multimedia players that `manage' your music for you.  I am old enough to
manage my OWN music, thank you very much.



And besides - male strippers make tons.  Even if I had the
prerequisites, I wouldn't do it.  Those women are ROUGH.  The whole
thing is made ironic by the fact that a large number of the male motion
workers prefer the company of same.




But hey - what kind of iron does one need to run a few choice VMs under
Server?  The server I just worked on is a dual core 3ghz 4g RAM box.
Ubuntu server, VMServer, then an XP and W2003 image.  The 2003 image
farted out with more than a few users.  We'll find out about XP tomorrow.

The application loads a small piece of software over Windows, which is
essentially a terminal server (Ncomputing, if anyone's interested),
which can run 10 pc's from a desktop, 30 from a server.

Even if it works, this is obviously not the server to do this with.
Just creating an XP image was ponderously slow.  If one prefers not to
worry about this happening, are we talking Serious Server?


Thanks,
