The software only version is sold in two configurations, a ready to run VMWare virtual appliance or Linux executables.
The virtual appliance can be started and configured in about 5 minutes after installation of the VMWare Player software. It is the recamended method for a software only install.
If you select the pure executables version on a general distribution you must be comfortable with Linux and in particular the following:
- Compiling a custom kernel
- Downloading and installing software from the Internet
- Finding supporting packages as required for downloaded software systems.
- Installing shrink wrapped software
- Verifying functionality of installed software packages.
Many distributions have been tested. Red Hat Enterprise 3 and above, SuSE Professional 9.2 or above, Debian Sarge & Etch, Gentoo 2005 or above have all been tested as functional.
We recommend a server meeting the tier specifications as listed below. We have found these to provide an ample system for running the software.
