Greg, Good deal. Could you provide any more info on the centos distro? A gig sounds like it is a Desktop install. Is it one of the existing VM's form VMWares Virtual Appliances Center or a custom install? Any admin tools on it like webmin or is it a pure command line interface? Many TIA, G On Sun, May 11, 2008 at 3:23 PM, greg h <cftalk.list@gmail.com> wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Also an FYI Peter from the Open BD steering committee has been hard at work getting AMI's set up as well: CentOS 5 Ready2Run AMI: ami-274faa4e Fedora Core 6 Ready2Run AMI: ami-014da868 http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/kbcategory.jspa?categoryID=101 Enjoy! And don't forget to check out OpenBluDragon.org and the group if you have questions.

Adam, you guys rock. I am hoping to have some cycles to spare in the near future.... Just saying "open source cfml" gives me the gibblies. G On Sun, May 11, 2008 at 9:05 PM, Adam Haskell <a.haskell@gmail.com> wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

I wouldn't expect anyone to use the OpenBD provided VM image in production, so I think the answers might be a bit moot. -- Tom Chiverton **************************************************** This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.

People with smaller budgets - might well be tempted to use it for internal apps, intranets, etc - so the smaller the footprint, the better. IMHO this would be a great way for someone with CFML skills but little knowledge of systems and servers, to get something up and running in production very quickly.

Hows that Tom? Its pretty common practice to ue VM to slice up say a windows server. In fact I think that the image posted is SixSignal's image they plan to use. Nital could clarify on that though.
