Subject: [9fans] Virtual PC server
Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2006 22:06:52 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7d3530220609181906l3ff6372dpce0c33dca3de1c51@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Question here:
In your opinions, would it be possible to run a CPU/auth server (and
possibly serve files) reliably and well from a Virtual PC session
running Plan 9? Virtual PC is running on a newer Mac desktop machine;
it would be a general, primary server for a small network of Plan 9
machines, probably netbooting some Sun machines (if we can get the
Suns to boot). The alternative is to use a Pentium II that I have put
together, 233 Mhz, 384 MB of RAM, 20 GB hard drive. Plan 9 is already
installed on both systems, so there isn't really a compatibility
problem. My main concern with the Virtual PC route is availability;
any other pros or cons you guys can come up with?
Thanks
John Floren
