So before going any further into Solaris 10 installations i should mention that i decided to go out and buy a server for the Frontend also. The reason for this is 2 fold.

1. I’m just so used to having the servers seperated that i’d rather develop this way.

2. The server i bought runs Ubuntu, and i left Linux behind along time ago, time to catch up.

Its quite a lightweight box, in terms of power – but it’ll do the job. This machine cost me $104.99 so beggars can’t be choosers.

Here are the details :

Processor : Pentium 4 2.4GHz
Memory (RAM) : 3GB
Hard Drive : 500GB 
Video Card : ATI 16Mb 
Optical Drive (CD/DVD Drive): CD-ROM 
Optional Components : 3 USB Ports 

This server will run.

  • Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
  • Subversion 1.6
  • MySQL 5
  • Adobe LCDS 2.51 for Flex
  • Adobe Cold Fusion 8

Right now i’m not sure how i’m going to connect it to the network – as the bottom of the apartment has no Ethernet ports. It’ll have to be Wireless.
