Should work fine. I've got 14.04 and 14.10 and they run fine under 200MB.

With a full GUI? Maybe I misunderstood, I thought he was running the full fat version from the OS description - I figured they'd have a different file for the core OS

No, I never install GUIs on servers 🙂

We know....LOL

I never got a response. I am no god either, but I feel I am overqualified as well.

I am a god, but was under qualified so didn't apply.

Thanks @Danp and @JaredBusch . I am going to give C@C a whole new look. So far I have been fairly impressed minus the screen refresh 😄

I suppose there is a bunch of that... but then there are things like the child singer from canada.. can't think of and don't want to his name... became a Youtube sensation and is now a millionaire.

You don't think this would become more the norm considering modern distribution methods.. and the studio made sorta-bes would mostly fade away?

Some how I Dont think anyone that can afford the paid version of UEB or an appliance is going to be using C@C for anything they care to backup.

You can get a free UEB over there, which is what I use, and lots of people here are over there, and use C@C.

Rebuild issues and returned and almost no one can build VMs anymore.

A quick peak shows the IOWait averages are way down on the machines that I am looking at. Will need more time to really tell. Tomorrow evening we will have a much better idea.

Me too 🙂

windows will likely get replace with something else (linux etc) in the enterprise. but that's a good while off.

That's been happening for years. The shift to Linux from Windows has been huge.

It appears that I need to make some things clear in our guidelines once again. @thanksajdotcom especially please read these over again.

Had to reboot a couple times. It finally seems to be coming up again.

Surprising here, the Dev3 blew the BigDog away in UnixBench score!

One of the biggest things people don't know about VMs is that more doesn't always equal better.

We get all the time where someone throws more processors at a VM but then bitches when their performance sucks ass. The BigDog3 with its 8 procs might be all kewl and stuff, but it doesn't necessarily translate to better performance.

In this case, more than likely more people are on the BigDog clusters than the Dev. Performance will always come up better when it's not being oversubscribed.

The CPU is the same between between the BigDog 1 and Dev3 only difference is more ram and 20GB more storage.

Most things are going to be that good at using multiple cores. I'd rather see higher clock speeds and newer CPUs than what they are using. But it's all very old hardware. works for testing though.

Aww.. I thought someone reached out to them and said "hey we are talking about you over at ML, why not stick your head in?"

@IRJ said:

@AmanBhogal if you need beta testers. We are willing to help out

And beta testing would be good for both you and us!

Ok, I was able to get it. I had to reboot the VM, despite I had just rebooted it, and refresh the page. Oh well...

They run with surprisingly old CPU's

and now it works! Thanks everyone!

Powering it off until I can spend the time to secure it

Just leave it on, and post the IP here. Someone will be nice and secure it for you 😉

Thanks for the offer. 😄 That'll speed things up heaps!
The IP is 127.0.0.1

Damn. Yeah they had me snookered. At least to the benefit of the doubt level.

Yeah. I used them for a while and when it worked, it was good. But by the time they started trying to bill me for the maintenance or whatever, I had already stopped using them due to the number of problems.

Cool, the first move from VPS to Cloud.
